This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 3:17. Ὅσι λέγεις) This ὅτι is not connected with the preceding words, in which their own ὅτι is inserted, ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ; but with the following words, as the thing speaks for itself. Thus, ch. Rev 18:7, followed by ὅτι-διὰ τοῦτο.-πλούσιος) A few read ὅτι πλούσιος. Such a use of the particle ὅτι, for quoting the language of any one, is of frequent occurrence, but not in the Apocalypse.[55] See ch. Rev 5:12, Rev 18:7, etc.-πεπλούτηκα) I have used my riches, and with my gold I have provided for myself many things; for instance, garments. So the Septuagint, πεπλούτηκα, Hos 12:8.
[55] AC Vulg. retain ὅτι before πλούσιος. Bh Cypr. 241, omit it-E.
