Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase apo katabolēs kosmou {ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου | a-pò ka-ta-bo-lês kó-smou} is most naturally taken with esphagmenou due to proximity and the shared genitive structure, yielding “slain from the foundation of the world,” a temporal phrase that situates the Lamb’s redemptive work within God’s eternal plan. In translation, the substantival participle construction is rendered as “all who dwell / everyone living,” and the genitive chains are preserved with “book of life of the Lamb” and “from the foundation of the world,” maintaining the theological focus on the Lamb’s sacrificial identity and the eternality of the divine purpose.
