ἁγιασθήτω (agiastheto) in Revelation 22:11: Verb Third Person Singular Aorist Passive Imperative

Verb: the form names an action or state and, here, calls for it to be expressed in the clause.

Aorist: commonly views the action as a whole event. It should not be treated as automatically punctiliar or automatically past in every context.

Passive: presents the subject as receiving or being affected by the action.

Imperative: presents the verbal idea as a command, appeal, or summons to action.

Third person: the form speaks about someone or something rather than directly as I/we or you.

Not applicable: this verb form is not using noun case to mark its sentence role.

Singular: the form is singular and fits the one person or one classified subject addressed in the saying.

Not applicable: this verb form does not use grammatical gender to make its point.

It stands with ὁ ἅγιος and is followed by ἔτι.

The imperative is governed by the repeated command pattern in the verse, where each clause addresses a described person or condition and urges it to continue.

It functions as the action called for in the final clause, expressing that the holy one should be sanctified or kept in holy setting apart still further.

It does not by itself identify a different subject, and it does not require a hidden object to be named beyond what the clause and context allow.

High: The imperative is part of Revelation 22:11's final sequence of solemn commands.

Third-person aorist passive imperative. calls for the holy one to be sanctified or remain set apart still. Attached to the holy one in Revelation 22:11. Governed by the repeated imperative pattern in the verse. The repeated still pattern and the verse structure shape how the imperative should be heard.

What is commanded for the holy one? The holy one is addressed in a command pattern that calls for continued holiness or sanctification.

Direct: The imperative mood directly affects the command-like force of the English rendering.

The passive voice should not be turned into a full doctrine of sanctification by itself. The aorist form does not mean once-for-all holiness apart from the verse context.

Aorist means once for all: Aorist aspect does not by itself prove a once-for-all action. passive voice settles the whole doctrine: The passive form supports the wording, while Scripture supplies the doctrine of holiness.

The witness reads ὁ ἅγιος ἁγιασθήτω ἔτι, placing the form in a direct command after the title or description ὁ ἅγιος.

The lemma ἁγιάζω means to sanctify or make holy, so the form carries the idea of consecration, not a change of lemma or word identity.

The passive imperative frames the clause as a call for holy status or consecration to continue, while the repeated ἔτι keeps the force ongoing rather than momentary.

In this verse the final line joins the others in a solemn, settled exhortation: the holy one is to remain in holiness and be regarded as such still.

This usage fits the wider biblical theme of holiness as belonging to God and as a state to be continued or maintained, without forcing a separate doctrine from the form alone.

For readers and teachers, the form supports the sense of a public, weighty admonition that character and status should align with holiness and continue that way.

Do not derive a full theology of sanctification from the morphology alone, and do not treat passive voice or aorist aspect as overriding the verse's rhetorical and contextual force.
