(17) So that nobody will be able to buy or sell except having the mark, the name of the wild-beast or the number of his name.
The F.O.G
[17] No one could buy or sell unless they had the mark—which was the name of the beast or the number of its name. Economic pressure would be used to enforce compliance with this anti-God system.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
