Revelation 22:17

πνεύμα (G4151) дух.
νύμφη (G3565) невеста. Под Духом понимается Святой Дух, а невеста — церковь. Свидетельство церкви усиливается Святым Духом, который представляет собой великую силу благовествования в это время (Mounce).
λέγουσιν praes. ind. act. от λέγω (G3004) говорить,
έρχου praes. imper. med. (dep.) от έρχομαι (G2064) идти, приходить,
άκούων praes. act. part. от άκούω (G191) слышать,
είπάτω aor. imper. act. от λέγω (G3004) говорить,
διψών praes. act. part. от διψάω (G1372) жаждать, испытывать жажду,
έρχέσθω praes. imper. pass. (dep.) от έρχομαι (G2064) приходить. Imper. выражает приглашение и позволение: "пусть он придет"
θέλων praes. act. part. от θέλω (G2309) желать, хотеть,
λαβέτω aor. imper. act. от λαμβάνω (G2983) брать, принимать,
δωρεάν (G1432) без причины, бесплатно, даром.
