Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase peri ta stethe zonas chrusas {περὶ τὰ στήθη ζώνας χρυσᾶς | perí tà stḗthē zṓnas chrysâs} 'with golden sashes around the chests' further characterizes the angels with priestly and royal dignity, with peri plus the accusative indicating encirclement. The English renderings preserve the central finite verb and recast the participial material into relative and descriptive clauses so that the sequence of action and the rich symbolic description remain clear and readable.
In context — Revelation 15:6
And the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out from the temple , clothed in pure, bright linen and girded around their chests with golden sashes.
