Translation Note
ὁ θρόνος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀρνίου is one throne, of God and of the Lamb. οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ λατρεύσουσιν αὐτῷ: “his servants will serve him,” with a singular “him.” λατρεύσουσιν is λατρεύω, future active indicative, 3rd person plural.
The King James reads “the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “the throne of God and of the Lamb” and “offer him sacred service.” One throne and one “him” sit on God and the Lamb together.
