Revelation 16:5

16:5 Now I heard the angel of the waters saying:

“You are just – the one who is and who was,

the Holy One – because you have passed these judgments,

Revelation 16:7

16:7 Then I heard the altar reply, “Yes, Lord God, the All-Powerful, your judgments are true and just!”

Revelation 22:11

22:11 The evildoer must continue to do evil, and the one who is morally filthy must continue to be filthy. The one who is righteous must continue to act righteously, and the one who is holy must continue to be holy.”


tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the somewhat parenthetical nature of the remarks that follow.

tn Or “righteous,” although the context favors justice as the theme.

tn Or “because you have judged these things.” The pronoun ταῦτα (tauta) is neuter gender.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

tn Grk “the altar saying.”

tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…() κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π. …Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”

tn Grk “must do evil still.”

tn For this translation see L&N 88.258; the term refers to living in moral filth.

tn Grk “filthy, and the.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, but because of the length and complexity of the construction a new sentence was started in the translation.
