Wahyu 2:22

2:22 Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness, ¹  and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, ²  unless they repent of her deeds.

Wahyu 8:3

8:3 Another ³  angel holding ⁴  a golden censer ⁵  came and was stationed ⁶  at the altar. A ⁷  large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.

Wahyu 21:3

21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence ⁸  of God is among human beings. ⁹  He ¹⁰  will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. ¹¹ 

[2:22]  ¹ tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

[2:22]  ² tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.

[8:3]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “having.”

[8:3]  ⁵ sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.

[8:3]  ⁶ tn The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (Jestaqh) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek.

[8:3]  ⁷ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:3]  ⁸ tn Or “dwelling place”; traditionally, “tabernacle”; literally “tent.”

[21:3]  ⁹ tn Or “people”; Grk “men” (ἀνθρώπων, anqrwpwn), a generic use of the term. In the translation “human beings” was used here because “people” occurs later in the verse and translates a different Greek word (λαοί, laoi).

[21:3]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “men, and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[21:3]  ¹¹ tc ‡ Most mss (א Ï^K) do not add the words “[as] their God” (αὐτῶν θεός, autwn qeos) after “he will be with them.” The mss with these words include A 2030 2050 2329 al. The Andreas group (Ï^A) also has the words, but in a different arrangement with the preceding (ἔσται μετ᾿ αὐτῶν θεὸς αὐτῶν, estai met’ autwn qeo" autwn). Not only do the words float, but scribes may have been motivated to make a connection here more directly with Isa 7:14; 8:8; Jer 24:7; 31:33; Zech 8:8. In light of sufficient external evidence as well as the possibility that the longer reading is theologically motivated, the shorter reading is preferred. NA²⁷ places the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.
