Revelation 15:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

Having. So 'Aleph (') B; but A C, 'who have:' not that they had them yet (cf. Revelation 15:7), but by anticipation described according to their office.

Linen. So B 'Aleph ('), 'linens;' but A C, Vulgate х lithon (G3037)], 'a stone.' The principle, that the harder reading is least likely to be an interpolation, favours 'a stone pure, (and is omitted in 'Aleph (') A B C, Andreas) brilliant' х lampron (G2986)], probably the diamond (cf. Acts 1:10; Acts 10:30).

Golden girdles - resembling the Lord (Revelation 1:13).
