³ Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it -- for the time is nigh!

¹⁰ And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already `is' to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer `is' our salvation than when we did believe;

²⁸ And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping `it'!'

³⁴ O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance.

¹² And lo, I come quickly, and my reward `is' with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

⁶ And he said to me, `These words `are' stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

⁷ Lo, I come quickly; happy `is' he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

⁸ And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord `is' as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

⁷ And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

⁸ be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

⁹ murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

²⁰ he saith -- who is testifying these things -- `Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

¹² O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five.

¹³ And thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost stand in thy lot at the end of the days.'
