The righteousness of the Saints, again. With Greek (Rev 19:8)
The Latin:
Et datum est illi ut cooperiat se byssinum splendens candidum byssinum. Enim iustificationes sunt sanctorum.
The English:
And it is granted to her that she should clothe herself with fine linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications of saints.
The Greek:
καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῇ ἵνα περιβάληται βύσσινον λαμπρὸν καθαρόν· τὸ γὰρ βύσσινον τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν ἁγίων ἐστί.
[This is part of a collective rejoicing following chapter 18. With reference to the white clothing, the New Jerome Biblical Commentary makes reference to Isaias 61:10, which is ' the garment of salvation and the robe of justice', part of the symbolism of wearing white after baptism. The NJBC also reminds us about individual responsibility.]
