Command to repay in double measure · dominant
In Revelation 18:6, διπλώσατε is a second-person plural aorist active verb in the clause concerning repayment according to works. The APB renders the surrounding instruction, “double the doubles according to her works,” confirming a commanded doubling within the act of repayment.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Revelation 18:6, the APB presents the clause with “double the doubles” in an instruction about repayment. It cannot isolate the term beyond that clause-level presentation.
