“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”
They sing a new song: 'You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation — the new song (aoidos kainē) celebrates Christ's worthiness grounded in his self-offering (ethyō, slain) and redemptive work (exagorazō, ransom by blood). The universal scope (every tribe, language, people, nation) emphasizes that Christ's redemption encompasses all humanity, not merely Israel.
