Revelation 22:7

22:7 (Look! I am coming soon!

Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.) ¹ 

Revelation 22:10

22:10 Then ²  he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy contained in this book, because the time is near.

Revelation 22:12

22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,

and my reward is with me to pay ³  each one according to what he has done!

[22:7]  ¹ sn These lines are parenthetical, forming an aside to the narrative. The speaker here is the Lord Jesus Christ himself rather than the narrator.

[22:10]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[22:12]  ³ tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.
