The righteous one in Revelation 22:11

The form is governed by the verse's series of third-person imperatives with still, where each clause solemnly continues the named condition.

It gives command or permissive force to the righteous clause, keeping the person identified as righteous within the verse's final warning pattern.

The form does not by itself define the whole doctrine of justification, final judgment, or perseverance.

High: The imperative form is part of Revelation 22:11's solemn continuation pattern near the close of the book.

Aorist passive imperative third singular. continues the stated condition of the righteous one in the final warning context. Attached to the righteous clause in Revelation 22:11. Governed by the verse's parallel third-person imperative pattern. The form contributes command or permissive force, but the passage governs the final-warning theology.

How does this clause fit the verse's pattern? It continues the righteous person's stated condition within the verse's parallel warnings.

Direct: The imperative directly supports the force of "let the righteous one still be righteous."

Third-person imperative force can be command-like or permissive; the verse's parallel pattern guides the reading. Passive voice should not be made to settle the whole doctrine of justification here.

The text reads δικαιωθήτω in Revelation 22:11 in the provided Textus Receptus witness.

The lemma is δικαιόω, a verb that can mean to justify, declare righteous, or show to be righteous depending on context.

The passive imperative belongs to a parallel command sequence in Revelation 22:11, so it should be read as part of the verse's solemn still pattern rather than as an isolated justification formula.

In this verse, the righteous are addressed alongside the unjust and the holy, and the form helps convey the solemn resolve that each person continues in the condition named.

The verb can fit wider biblical language about justification, but this verse uses it within an apocalyptic exhortation, so the local context must lead the reading.

When teaching Revelation 22:11, use the form to show the verse's parallel finality: the righteous one is addressed within the same still pattern as the surrounding clauses.

Do not derive a complete doctrine of justification or final judgment from the passive imperative alone. The whole verse and book supply the theological frame.
