χρείαν (chreian) in Revelation 22:5: Noun Accusative Singular Feminine

Noun: the word names an idea or condition here, namely need or necessity, rather than an action or description.

Accusative: the form usually marks a direct object or another object-like role, and here it fits the verb that follows.

Singular: the form is grammatically singular in this occurrence, so it presents one need as a single idea.

Feminine: the noun belongs to the feminine grammatical class, which is a language feature and not a theological gender claim.

ἔχουσι

The form is governed by the verb phrase οὐκ ἔχουσι, where χρείαν functions as the thing not had or required.

It works as the object of having, so the sense is that they do not have need for lamp or sunlight.

It is not the subject of the clause, and the accusative form should not be read as changing the subject or introducing a new topic.

Moderate: The accusative noun helps state the absence of need, supporting the picture of divine sufficiency.

Accusative object of having. names what is absent from the renewed setting. Attached to the negative having phrase. Governed by the verb saying they do not have need. The grammar supports the absence of need, while the surrounding clause explains why lamp and sunlight are unnecessary.

What do they no longer have? They have no need; the accusative noun names what is absent.

Direct: The accusative relation directly supports the English phrase 'need for' or 'need of.'

The object relation is clear, but the theological force should be read from the full vision of light and reign.

Accusative object proves total theology of sufficiency: The case marks the object of not having; the passage context explains the nature of the sufficiency.

In the supplied text of Revelation 22:5, the witness reads καὶ χρείαν οὐκ ἔχουσι λύχνου καὶ φωτὸς ἡλίου, so the noun stands within a negated possession phrase.

The lemma χρεία means need or necessity, and in this form it names the absence of need rather than a different lexical idea.

The accusative singular works naturally with ἔχουσι to express that the occupants of the scene do not have need of lamp or sun, which fits the surrounding statement about divine light.

The verse portrays a setting where ordinary light sources are unnecessary because the Lord God gives the light, so χρείαν reinforces sufficiency rather than lack.

Within the book's closing vision, the form contributes to the picture of complete illumination and full provision, without requiring a separate doctrinal conclusion from case alone.

For readers and teachers, the form helps show that the line means no need exists for those light sources, making the clause sharper and more concrete.

Do not derive a hidden theology of gender, a change of lemma, or a meaning beyond need or necessity from the case ending alone.
