ὁ ῥυπῶν

The participle is paired with the article and followed by the imperative ῥυπωσάτω, so it functions as a substantive description of the one addressed.

It identifies the class of person in view, namely the one characterized by defilement, and it helps frame the matching command that follows.

It is not a separate finite assertion, and it does not by itself say more than the context gives about identity, status, or permanence.

High: The participle identifies the filthy one in the parallel sequence of moral states in Revelation 22:11.

Present active participle, nominative singular masculine. names the person characterized by filth before the matching command follows. Attached to the article forming the filthy one. Governed by the parallel command sequence in Revelation 22:11. The participle supplies the person label; the imperative supplies the command force.

Who is addressed in this part of the sequence? The filthy one is identified before the matching command is given.

Direct: The participial phrase directly supports the filthy one or the one who is filthy.

Present participle identifies the person in the verse and should not be made into a timing theory. Masculine agreement is grammatical and should not restrict the warning to males. The verse's solemn force comes from the full parallel sequence.

Present participle proves permanent status: The participle characterizes the person in the verse; the full command sequence supplies the warning's force. participle alone approves the condition: The participle names the person; it does not approve filth or settle the verse apart from the command sequence.

The witness reads ῥυπῶν in Revelation 22:11 with the surrounding phrase ὁ ῥυπῶν ῥυπωσάτω ἔτι.

The lexeme is ῥυπαρεύομαι, with the artifact gloss indicating the idea of being filthy or defiling.

In this sentence the participle labels a person by a characteristic, and the linked imperative tells that person to continue in that course.

The verse presents settled categories in parallel lines, and this form contributes the category of the defiling person without adding extra nuance beyond the context.

The form fits the passage's series of matched descriptions and commands, where each label is followed by an imperative that reinforces the stated condition.

For readers, the form communicates a person described by an ongoing or characteristic pattern, not a completed verdict about every possible nuance of the verb.

Do not derive a hidden doctrine from the participle shape alone, and do not make grammatical gender or tense carry more meaning than the sentence supports.
