27. πᾶν κοινὸν καὶ ὁ ποιῶν. Isaiah 52:1. No unclean thing can enter without an unclean person. The point of view seems to change abruptly between Revelation 21:26 and Revelation 21:27. We should naturally suppose that as the city is always receiving the fulness of the Gentiles so it is always fenced against the evil that is in the World, cf. Revelation 22:15, but the mention of the Book of Life may be meant for a reminder that after the Judgement there is no evil to enter.

βδέλυγμα καὶ ψεῦδος. Both these words are used of idols by LXX., the latter to translate the Hebrew word which A. V[862] renders “vanity.”

[862] Authorised Version.

ἐν τῷ … τοῦ�. So Revelation 13:8.
