Wahyu 17:2

17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality and the earth’s inhabitants got drunk with the wine of her immorality.” ¹ 

Wahyu 17:15

17:15 Then ²  the angel ³  said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes, ⁴  nations, and languages.

Wahyu 17:18

17:18 As for ⁵  the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.”

[17:2]  ¹ tn This is the same word translated “sexual immorality” earlier in the verse, but here the qualifier “sexual” has not been repeated for stylistic reasons.

[17:15]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[17:15]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “and multitudes,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[17:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” Because this remark is somewhat resumptive in nature, “as for” is used in the translation.
