Exegesis
The indefinite relative clause hosoi ean mē proskynēsōsin {ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ προσκυνήσωσιν | hós-oi eán mḗ pro-sky-nḗ-sō-sin} ‘as many as might not worship’ leaves the number unspecified, and the final apoktanthōsin {ἀποκτανθῶσιν | a-pok-tanthṓ-sin} ‘may be killed’ presents the lethal outcome as an intended result.","
In context — Revelation 13:15
And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and it might cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed .","
