[1:6] 1 tn The verb ποιέω (poiew) can indicate appointment or assignment rather than simply “make” or “do.” See Mark 3:14 (L&N 37.106).
[1:6] 2 tn See BDAG 168 s.v. βασιλεία 1.a for the idea of “he made us a kingdom,” which was translated as “he appointed us (to be or function) as a kingdom” (see the note on the word “appointed” earlier in the verse).
[1:6] 3 tn Grk “a kingdom, priests.” The term ἱερεῖς (Jiereis) is either in apposition to βασιλείαν (basileian) or as a second complement to the object “us” (ἡμᾶς, Jhmas). The translation retains this ambiguity.
[1:6] 4 tc Both the longer reading τῶν αἰώνων (twn aiwnwn, “to the ages of the ages” or, more idiomatically, “for ever and ever”; found in א C Ï) and the shorter (“for ever”; found in Ì18 A P 2050 pc bo) have good ms support. The author uses the longer expression (εἰς [τοὺς] αἰῶνας [τῶν] αἰώνων, ei" [tou"] aiwna" [twn] aiwnwn) in every other instance of αἰών in Revelation, twelve passages in all (1:18; 4:9, 10; 5:13; 7:12; 10:6; 11:15; 14:11; 15:7; 19:3; 20:10; 22:5). Thus, on the one hand, the style of the author is consistent, while on the other hand, the scribes may have been familiar with such a stylistic feature, causing them to add the words here. The issues are more complex than can be presented here; the longer reading, however, is probably original (the shorter reading arising from accidental omission of the genitive phrase due to similarity with the preceding words).
[4:9] 5 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
[6:13] 6 tn Or “in heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”). The genitive τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (tou ouranou) is taken as a genitive of place.
[6:13] 7 tn Grk “throws [off]”; the indicative verb has been translated as a participle due to English style.
[6:13] 8 tn L&N 3.37 states, “a fig produced late in the summer season (and often falling off before it ripens) – ‘late fig.’ ὡς συκὴ βάλλει τοὺς ὀλύνθους αὐτῆς ὑπὸ ἀνέμου μεγάλου σειομένη ‘as the fig tree sheds its late figs when shaken by a great wind’ Re 6:13. In the only context in which ὄλυνθος occurs in the NT (Re 6:13), one may employ an expression such as ‘unripe fig’ or ‘fig which ripens late.’”
[7:13] 10 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[7:13] 11 tn Grk “spoke” or “declared to,” but in the context “asked” reads more naturally in English.
[8:8] 12 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[8:8] 13 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[9:3] 14 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[9:3] 15 tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”
[9:9] 16 tn Or perhaps, “scales like iron breastplates” (RSV, NRSV) although the Greek term θώραξ (qwrax) would have to shift its meaning within the clause, and elsewhere in biblical usage (e.g., Eph 6:14; 1 Thess 5:8) it normally means “breastplate.” See also L&N 8.38.
[9:15] 17 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[9:15] 18 tn The Greek article τήν (thn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.
[9:15] 19 tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
[9:15] 20 tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.
[10:5] 21 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[12:6] 22 tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.
[12:6] 24 tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”
[12:6] 25 tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”
[12:13] 26 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.
[13:6] 28 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the permission granted to the beast.
[13:6] 29 tn Grk “he” (or “it”); the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[13:6] 30 tc The reading “and his dwelling place” does not occur in codex C, but its omission is probably due to scribal oversight since the phrase has the same ending as the phrase before it, i.e., they both end in “his” (αὐτοῦ, autou). This is similar to the mistake this scribe made in 12:14 with the omission of the reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou).
[13:13] 31 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[13:13] 32 tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both men and women.
[16:4] 33 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[16:4] 34 tn Grk “the third”; the referent (the third angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[17:11] 35 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[20:14] 36 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
[20:15] 37 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[20:15] 38 tn The word “name” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
[20:15] 39 tn Grk “he”; the pronoun has been intensified by translating as “that person.”
[21:24] 40 tn Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
