Revelation 22:11
Compare all
9 Then he said to me, a“See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”  
10 aAnd he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, bfor the time is at hand.  
11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him1 be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

14 aBlessed are those who1 do His commandments, that they may have the right bto the tree of life, cand may enter through the gates into the city.  
15 But aoutside are bdogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.  
16 a“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. bI am the Root and the Offspring of David, cthe Bright and Morning Star.”

Revelation 22:11

Let him do unrighteousness still (adikhsatw eti). First aorist (constative) active imperative of adikew, viewed here as a whole. The language is probably ironical, with a reminder of Daniel 12:10, in no sense a commendation of their lost estate. Charles rejects this verse as not like John. It is the hopelessness of the final state of the wicked which is here pictured. So as to "Let him be made filthy still" (rupanqhtw eti). First aorist (constative) passive imperative of rupainw, old verb, to make foul or filthy (from rupov, filth, I Peter 3:21, as is ruparov, filthy), here only in N.T. The use of eti is not perfectly clear, whether "still" or "yet more." It is the time when Christ has shut the door to those outside who are now without hope (Matthew 25:10; Luke 13:25). Ruparov occurs elsewhere in N.T. only in James 2:2, and ruparia (filthiness) only in James 1:21. So then "the righteous" (o dikaiov) is to do righteousness still (dikaiosunhn poihsatw eti, first constative aorist active imperative of poiew) and "the holy" (o agiov) to be made holy still (agiasqhtw eti, first constative aorist passive imperative of agiazw). The states of both the evil and the good are now fixed forever. There is no word here about a "second chance" hereafter.
