kai ho TE-tar-tos ek-SE-khe-en tên phi-A-lên au-TOU e-PI ton HÊ-li-on kai e-DO-thê au-TÔI kau-ma-TI-sai tous an-THRÔ-pous en py-RI
Exegesis
The phrase tous anthropous {τοὺς ἀνθρώπους | toùs anthrṓpous} ‘the people’ designates humanity as recipients of the torment, while en puri {ἐν πυρί | en pyrí} ‘with fire’ functions instrumentally to specify the means of scorching. The translation retains the narrative link of kai, the substantival ordinal force of ho tetartos, and the impersonal nuance of the passive permission by using “it was allowed.”
In context — Revelation 16:8
And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire .
