Wahyu 2:10

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown ¹  into prison so you may be tested, ²  and you will experience suffering ³  for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. ⁴ 

Wahyu 4:4

4:4 In ⁵  a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were ⁶  dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns ⁷  on their heads.

Wahyu 4:10

4:10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground ⁸  before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns ⁹  before his ¹⁰  throne, saying:

[2:10]  ¹ tn Grk “is about to throw some of you,” but the force is causative in context.

[2:10]  ² tn Or “tempted.”

[2:10]  ³ tn Or “experience persecution,” “will be in distress” (see L&N 22.2).

[2:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “crown of life,” with the genitive “of life” (τῆς ζωῆς, th" zwh") functioning in apposition to “crown” (στέφανον, stefanon): “the crown that consists of life.”

[4:4]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:4]  ⁶ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were” to indicate the connection to the preceding material.

[4:4]  ⁷ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

[4:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “the twenty-four elders fall down.” 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.”

[4:10]  ⁹ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

[4:10]  ¹⁰ tn The pronoun “his” is understood from the demonstrative force of the article τοῦ (tou) before θρόνου (qronou).
