³ A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.

¹⁰ And he said to me, Let not the words of this prophet's book be kept secret, because the time is near.

¹¹ See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

²⁸ But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

³⁴ Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.

¹² See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works.

⁶ And he said to me, These words are certain and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to make clear to his servants the things which are now to come about.

⁷ See, I come quickly. A blessing on him who keeps the words of this book of the prophet.

⁸ But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

⁷ But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

⁸ Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

⁹ Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

²⁰ He who gives witness to these things says, Truly, I come quickly. Even so come, Lord Jesus.

¹² A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.

¹³ But you, go on your way and take your rest: for you will be in your place at the end of the days.
