‏ Revelation of John 16:15

Behold, I come as a thief ( ιδου ερχομα ως κλεπτης ). The voice of Christ breaks in with the same metaphor as in 3:3, which see. There comes one of seven beatitudes in Rev. (1:3; 14:13; 16:15; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7, 14). For γρηγορων (watching) see 3:2, and for τηρων (keeping), 1:3.

Lest he walk naked ( ινα μη γυμνος περιπατη ). Negative purpose clause with ινα μη and the present active subjunctive of περιπατεω, and note predicate nominative γυμνος (naked).

And they see his shame ( κα βλεπωσιν την ασχημοσυνην αυτου ). Continuation of the final clause with present active subjunctive of βλεπω. Ασχημοσυνην is old word (from ασχημων, indecent, 1Co 12:23), in N.T. only here and Ro 1:27, a euphemism for την αισχυνην (Re 3:18).
