Revelation 19:8
Compare all
6 aAnd I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For bthe Lord God Omnipotent reigns!  
7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for athe marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”  
8 And ato her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, bfor the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.  
9 Then he said to me, “Write: a‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, b“These are the true sayings of God.”  
10 And aI fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, b“See that you do not do that! I am your cfellow servant, and of your brethren dwho have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the etestimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Revelation 19:8

That she should array herself (ina peribalhtai). Sub-final object clause subject of edoqh (was given to her) with ina and the second aorist middle (direct) of periballw to fling around. This bridal dress is a gift from Christ. This form, edoqh (it was given), occurs some 20 times in this book.

In fine linen, bright and pure (bussinon lampron kaqaron). See Revelation 19:14 for the same raiment on those accompanying "The Word of God" and for the seven angels in Revelation 15:6. See by contrast the garments of the harlot (Revelation 17:4; Revelation 18:16). For bussinon see Revelation 18:16.

The righteous acts of the saints (ta dikaiwmata twn agiwn). This is the explanation (gar) of the bridal dress and explains why there is work for the Bride as well as for Christ (Philippians 2:12 f.). See Revelation 15:4 for dikaiwma (also Romans 5:18).
