A FELLOW SLAVE — doulos with syn-, and not 'fellow servant': the same owned condition, shared. ⚠ John falls to worship the angel twice in this book and is stopped both times with the same word (19:10, 22:9): I am your syndoulos, bow to God. The noun is also what the chapter calls the worshippers at 22:3, so the angel is refusing worship on the grounds of belonging to the same household as the man offering it. → first discussed at Rev 22:9
