Revelation 5:12
Compare all
10 And have made1 us akings and1 bpriests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”  
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And aevery creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
b“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him cwho sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and1 ever!”  
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the1 twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped2 Him who lives forever and ever.

Revelation 5:12

Worthy (acion). Agreeing in gender (grammatical neuter) with arnion, but some MSS. have aciov (masculine, natural gender). Note change to third person estin instead of second ei. The point of the song is the same as that in verses Revelation 5:9-10, but the language differs. Note the repeated article to (the lamb the slain) referring to verses Revelation 5:6, Revelation 5:9. Note also the one article thn before dunamin for all the seven grounds of praise (dunamin, power, plouton, wealth, sofian, wisdom, isxun, strength, timhn, honor, docan, glory, eulogian, blessing), though plouton is masculine, in contrast with separate article for each item (all three feminine) in Revelation 4:11, here grouping them all together, "a heptad of praise" (Swete).
