This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 2:22. Βαλῶ[42]) Thus Hunt. Æth. Arab. Lat. and many others, who read I will send, and Tertullian, who has I will give. The others read βάλλω. For the copyists frequently put ΛΛ for Λ in the use of this verb; and ἸΔΟῪ is usually construed with a present, though sometimes also with a future: Luk 1:20; Luk 1:31; Luk 1:48. And the future agrees with this passage, because the condition, unless they shall repent, gives an interval of time: and ἀποκτενῶ accords with ΒΑΛῶ: and lastly, in all these denunciations, the sense of the future prevails: ch. Rev 2:5, ΚΙΝΉΣΩ; Rev 2:16, ΠΟΛΕΜΉΣΩ; Rev 2:24, ΒΑΛῶ, where also many read ΒΆΛΛΩ; ch. Rev 3:4, ΠΕΡΙΠΑΤΗΣΟΥΣΙ; Rev 2:9, ΠΟΙΉΣΩ, with ἸΔΟΎ; Rev 2:20, ΕἸΣΕΛΕΎΣΟΜΑΙ, Κ.Τ.Λ.
[42] So B (βάλω) and Memph. But Vulg. and most authorities, βάλλω.-E.
