[2:26]  ¹ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[2:26]  ² tn Grk “keeps.” In a context that speaks of “holding on to what you have,” the idea here is one of continued faithful behavior (BDAG 1002 s.v. τηρέω 3 has “ὁ τηρῶν τὰ ἔργα μου the one who takes my deeds to heart Rv 2:26”).

[2:26]  ³ tn Or “over the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[7:4]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of new but related material.

[7:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “who were sealed.”

[7:4]  ⁶ tn Normally, “every,” but since 144,000 is the total number, “all” is clearer here.

[7:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “the sons of Israel,” normally an idiom for the Israelites as an ethnic entity (L&N 11.58). However, many scholars understand the expression in this context to refer to Christians rather than ethnic Israelites.

[11:5]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:5]  ⁹ tn This is a collective singular in Greek.

[11:5]  ¹⁰ tn See L&N 20.45 for the translation of κατεσθίω (katesqiw) as “to destroy utterly, to consume completely.”

[11:5]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:9]  ¹² tn The word “every” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the following list.

[11:9]  ¹³ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated before this and the following items in the list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:9]  ¹⁴ tn Or “to be buried.”

[13:8]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “it”; the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:8]  ¹⁶ tn The prepositional phrase “since the foundation of the world” is traditionally translated as a modifier of the immediately preceding phrase in the Greek text, “the Lamb who was killed” (so also G. B. Caird, Revelation [HNTC], 168), but it is more likely that the phrase “since the foundation of the world” modifies the verb “written” (as translated above). Confirmation of this can be found in Rev 17:8 where the phrase “written in the book of life since the foundation of the world” occurs with no ambiguity.

[13:8]  ¹⁷ tn Or “slaughtered”; traditionally, “slain.”

[16:3]  ¹⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “next” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:3]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “the second”; the referent (the second angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:7]  ²⁰ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[21:12]  ²¹ tn Grk “jasper, having.” Here a new sentence was started in the translation.

[21:12]  ²² tn Grk “a (city) wall great and high.”

[21:12]  ²³ tn On this term BDAG 897 s.v. πυλών 1 states, “gate, esp. of the large, impressive gateways at the entrance of temples and palaces…of the entrances of the heavenly Jerusalem…οἱ πυλῶνες αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ κλεισθῶσιν its entrances shall never be shut Rv 21:25; cp. vss. 12ab, 13abcd, 15, 21ab; 22:14.”

[21:12]  ²⁴ tn Grk “of the sons of Israel.” The translation “nation of Israel” is given in L&N 11.58.

[21:12]  ²⁵ tn Grk “on them”; the referent (the gates) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
