Exegesis
The causal clause ho kairos gar engys estin {ὁ καιρὸς γὰρ ἐγγύς ἐστιν | ho kai-ròs gár engýs estin} places “the time” before the adverb “near” and the copula “is,” foregrounding the immediacy that motivates the prohibition. Quotation marks preserve the original direct speech, and the formal version’s “for” reflects gar, while the dynamic’s “because” conveys natural explanatory flow.
In context — Revelation 22:10
And he says to me, “Do not seal the prophetic words inscribed in this book, for the appointed moment is near.”
