Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 22:11

_ _ unjust — “unrighteous”; in relation to one’s fellow men; opposed to “righteous,” or “just” (as the Greek may be translated) below. More literally, “he that doeth unjustly, let him do unjustly still.”

_ _ filthy — in relation to one’s own soul as unclean before God; opposed to holy,” consecrated to God as pure. A omits the clause, “He which is filthy let him be filthy still.” But B supports it. In the letter of the Vienne and Lyons Martyrs (in Eusebius) in the second century, the reading is, “He that is lawless (Greek,anomos’) let him be lawless; and he that is righteous let him be righteous (literally, ‘be justified’) still.” No manuscript is so old. A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, Andreas, and Cyprian read, “let him do righteousness” (1 John 2:29; 1 John 3:7). The punishment of sin is sin, the reward of holiness is holiness. Eternal punishment is not so much an arbitrary law, as a result necessarily following in the very nature of things, as the fruit results from the bud. No worse punishment can God lay on ungodly men than to give them up to themselves. The solemn lesson derivable from this verse is, Be converted now in the short time left (Revelation 22:10, end) before “I come” (Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:12), or else you must remain unconverted for ever; sin in the eternal world will be left to its own natural consequences; holiness in germ will there develop itself into perfect holiness, which is happiness.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 22:6-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 22:11

He that is unrighteous — As if he had said, The final judgment is at hand; after which the condition of all mankind will admit of no change for ever. Unrighteous — Unjustified. Filthy — Unsanctified, unholy.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 22:11

(5) 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.

(5) An objection anticipated, but there will be some that will use this occasion for evil, and will wrest this scripture to their own destruction, as Peter says. What then? says the angel, the mysteries of God must not be concealed, which it has pleased him to communicate to us. Let them be harmful to others, let such be more and more vile in themselves, whom this scripture does not please: yet others will be further conformed to righteousness by this, and true holiness. The care and reformation of these may not be neglected, because of the voluntary and malicious offence of others.
