Wahyu 7:11-12

7:11 And all the angels stood ¹  there in a circle around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground ²  before the throne and worshiped God, 7:12 saying,

“Amen! Praise and glory,

and wisdom and thanksgiving,

and honor and power and strength

be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”

Wahyu 14:4

14:4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves ³  with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from humanity as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb,

Wahyu 19:5

19:5 Then ⁴  a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God

all you his servants,

and all you who fear Him,

both the small and the great!”

Wahyu 22:9

22:9 But ⁵  he said to me, “Do not do this! ⁶  I am a fellow servant ⁷  with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey ⁸  the words of this book. Worship God!”

[7:11]  ¹ tn The verb is pluperfect, but the force is simple past. See ExSyn 586.

[7:11]  ² tn Grk “they fell down on their faces.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[14:4]  ³ tn The aorist passive verb is rendered as a reflexive (“defiled themselves”) by BDAG 657 s.v. μολύνω 2.

[19:5]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[22:9]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[22:9]  ⁶ tn On the elliptical expression ὅρα μή ({ora mh) BDAG 720 s.v. ὁράω B.2 states: “Elliptically…ὅρα μή (sc. ποιήσῃς) watch out! don’t do that! Rv 19:10; 22:9.”

[22:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “fellow slave.” Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) is here translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[22:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “keep” (an idiom for obedience).
