Exegesis
Two present participles—echontas to charagma tou theriou {ἔχοντας τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ θηρίου | é-khon-tas tò chá-rag-ma toû thē-rí-ou} and proskynountas te eikoni autou {προσκυνοῦντας τῇ εἰκόνι αὐτοῦ | pros-ku-noûn-tas têi ei-kó-ni au-toû}—define those subject to judgment by their ongoing allegiance. The formal rendering mirrors the Greek sequence, while the dynamic version explicitly identifies the first angel and the eruptive nature of the sores without altering the underlying structure.
In context — Revelation 16:2
And the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a harmful and painful sore came upon the people who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped its image.
