Exegesis
The final coordinated clause kai hoi met’ autou klētoi kai eklektoi kai pistoi {καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ κλητοὶ καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ πιστοί | kaí hoi met’ autoû klētoí kaí eklektoí kaí pistoi} shifts focus to His followers: hoi met’ autou ‘those with Him’ introduces a group characterized by a triad of adjectives, each joined by kai in a rhythmic, emphatic series—‘called’, ‘chosen’, ‘faithful’. This sequence underscores their secure identity and participation in His victory. In translation, the future tenses are kept as explicit futures, the causal hoti-clause is rendered with “because/for” to preserve the logical grounding, and the royal titles are translated in their recognized liturgical form to maintain their weight and resonance.
In context — Revelation 17:14
These will make war with the Lamb , and the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful.
