Worthy (axion). Agreeing in gender (grammatical neuter) with arnion, but some MSS. have axios (masculine, natural gender). Note change to third person estin instead of second ei. The point of the song is the same as that in Rev 5:9, Rev 5:10, but the language differs. Note the repeated article to (the lamb the slain) referring to Rev 5:6, Rev 5:9. Note also the one article tēn before dunamin for all the seven grounds of praise (dunamin, power, plouton, wealth, sophian, wisdom, ischun, strength, timēn, honor, doxan, glory, eulogian, blessing), though plouton is masculine, in contrast with separate article for each item (all three feminine) in Rev 4:11, here grouping them all together, “a heptad of praise” (Swete).
