μισθός (misthos) in Revelation 22:12: Noun Nominative Singular Masculine

Noun: this form names a thing or reality, here the idea of wages or reward.

Nominative: this form usually marks a subject or a predicate role, and context shows its local function.

ὁ μισθός μου

The noun is framed by the article and possessive pronoun, and it belongs to the clause about the speaker's coming and his reward being with him.

It serves as the clause's nominative subject, naming what is said to be present with the speaker and ready for distribution.

It should not be taken as a new verb, nor as evidence by itself for timing, quantity, or moral evaluation beyond the sentence context.

High: The nominative noun names the reward said to be with the speaker, directly supporting the verse's promise and warning.

Nominative subject with possessive phrase. names what is present with the coming speaker. Attached to the phrase my reward. Governed by the clause saying the reward is with the speaker. The form identifies the clause subject, while the purpose of giving to each one comes from the next phrase.

What is said to be with the coming speaker? The reward is the nominative subject named as being with him.

Direct: The nominative form directly supports rendering reward as the subject of the clause.

The singular form presents the reward as a whole reality in the clause and does not by itself specify quantity or timing.

Singular reward proves one uniform outcome: The singular form names the reward as a clause subject; the distribution language must be read from the whole sentence.

The witness reads μισθός in Revelation 22:12 within the phrase ὁ μισθός μου μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ.

The lemma μισθός commonly means wages, pay, or reward, and in this context the broader sense of reward fits the sentence well.

The nominative form and its article make the noun the clause subject, but the verse itself supplies the meaning by linking the reward to the speaker's coming and to distribution according to each person's work.

The sentence presents a coming speaker whose reward accompanies him, so the reader hears readiness, presence, and just giving rather than a bare dictionary label.

This wording fits the wider biblical pattern of reward language for divine acknowledgment of deeds without requiring the form itself to carry every theological nuance.

For communication, the grammar supports a clear claim that the speaker's reward is present with him and that what follows concerns giving to each one in accord with deed.

Do not derive from nominative case alone any claim about the exact mechanism of reward, the identity of recipients, or a gendered theological point.
