Compare all
7 a“Behold, I am coming quickly! bBlessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”  
8 Now I, John,1 saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, aI fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.  
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.”

Revelation 22:9

Literally, "See not"; the abruptness of the phrase marking the angel's abhorrence of the thought of his being worshipped however indirectly. Contrast the fallen angel's temptation to Jesus, "Fall down and worship me" (Matthew 4:9).

for—A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, ANDREAS, and CYPRIAN omit "for"; which accords with the abrupt earnestness of the angel's prohibition of an act derogatory to God.

and of—"and (the fellow servant) of thy brethren."
