Revelation 19:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And to her was granted; that is, to the Lamb's wife, whether Jews or Gentiles, or both. That she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; that she should be clothed with the righteousness of Christ, reckoned to her for righteousness. This is the righteosness of the saints; called the righteousness of God, Romans 1:17; a righteousness through the faith of Christ, Philippians 3:9: called righteousness, in the Greek, because there are many saints to be clothed with it; and because it is imputed both for justification and sanctificaion, not to excuse us from holiness, but to make up our defects.

Revelation 19:8

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:a for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
