Revelation 22:11

He that is unjust&c. The sense is generally understood to be, "The time is so short, that it is too late to change: for good or evil, you must go on as you are;" a solemn and terrible irony, like "Sleep on now, and take your rest," to the Disciples who had missed their opportunity. As that was followed by "Rise, let us be going," so there is nothing inconsistent with this in the Church continuing to preach repentance to the unjust and the filthy. But in the Epistle of the Churches of Gaul (Eus. H. E.v. i. 53) the passage is quoted (not quite accurately, it is true) as though the sense were, -Let the unrighteous do moreunrighteousness" &c.; a possible rendering of the Greek. Then the sense will be, that the world "must be worse before it is better" that sin must come to its height, in order that the righteous may be made perfect. For "unjust" it would be better to render "unrighteous," or else "just" for "righteous" below, as the two words are the exact opposites of each other.

be righteous Read, do righteousness.
