He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 22 of Revelation. The angel commands John not to seal the words of the prophecy because the time is near. This instruction contrasts with the command to seal certain words in the book of Daniel. Revelation presents itself as a message intended to circulate among the churches. The statement that the unjust should continue doing injustice and the holy should continue being holy does not eliminate moral responsibility; it intensifies the urgency of decision in light of the approaching conclusion.

Wer böse ist, der sei fernerhin böse, und wer unrein ist, der sei fernerhin unrein; aber wer fromm ist, der sei fernerhin fromm, und wer heilig ist, der sei fernerhin heilig.
El que es injusto, sea injusto todavía: y el que es sucio, ensúciese todavía: y el que es justo, sea todavía justificado: y el santo sea santificado todavía.
Que el que comete injusticia siga cometiéndola; que el impuro siga en su impureza; que el justo siga practicando la justicia y que el santo siga santificándose».
Que celui qui est injuste soit encore injuste, que celui qui est souillé se souille encore; et que le juste pratique encore la justice, et que celui qui est saint se sanctifie encore.
Chi è ingiusto sialo ancora vie più; e chi è contaminato si contamini vie più; e chi è giusto operi la giustizia ancora vie più; e chi è santo sia santificato vie più.
Quem é injusto, faça injustiça ainda; e quem está sujo, suje-se ainda; e quem é justo, faça justiça ainda; e quem é santo, seja santificado ainda.
不義的,讓他仍舊不義;污穢的,讓他仍舊污穢;為義的,讓他仍舊為義;聖潔的,讓他仍舊聖潔。」
