Exegesis
The first relative clause introduced by hoi {οἳ | hoí} ‘who’ employs the aorist passive emolynthēsan {ἐμολύνθησαν | e-mo-lýn-thē-san} ‘were defiled’, negated by the particle ouk {οὐκ | ouk} ‘not’, and followed by the prepositional phrase meta gynaikōn {μετὰ γυναικῶν | me-tá gy-nai-kôn} ‘with women’ to assert completed purity, with gar {γάρ | gár} ‘for’ linking to parthenoi {παρθένοι | par-thé-noi} ‘virgins’ as their defining status.
In context — Revelation 14:4
These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He may go. They have been redeemed from among humanity as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb .
