{That she should array herself} (hina peribal(8874)ai).
Sub-final object clause subject of edoth(885c) (was given to her)
with hina and the second aorist middle (direct) of periball(935c)
to fling around. This bridal dress is a gift from Christ. This
form, edoth(885c) (it was given), occurs some 20 times in this book.
{In fine linen, bright and pure} (ussinon lampron katharon).
See 19:14 for the same raiment on those accompanying "The Word
of God" and for the seven angels in 15:6 . See by contrast the
garments of the harlot ( 17:4 18:16 ). For ussinon see
18:16 . {The righteous acts of the saints} ( a dikai(936d)ata t(936e)
hagi(936e)). This is the explanation (gar) of the bridal dress and
explains why there is work for the Bride as well as for Christ
( Php 2:12f. ). See 15:4 for dikai(936d)a (also Ro 5:18 ).
