[5:3] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
[6:9] 2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a new and somewhat different topic after the introduction of the four riders.
[6:9] 3 tn Or “murdered.” See the note on the word “butcher” in 6:4.
[16:6] 4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that this judgment is the result of what these wicked people did to the saints and prophets.
[16:6] 5 tn Grk “They are worthy”; i.e., of this kind of punishment. By extension, “they got what they deserve.”
[17:6] 6 tn Or “of the witnesses to Jesus.” Here the genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) is taken as an objective genitive; Jesus is the object of their testimony.
[17:6] 7 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[17:6] 8 tn Grk “I marveled a great marvel” (an idiom for great astonishment).
[17:10] 9 tn That is, one currently reigns.
[17:11] 10 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[18:3] 11 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
[18:3] 12 tc ‡ Several
[18:3] 13 tn See the notes on the words “passion” in Rev 14:8 and “wrath” in 16:19.
[18:3] 14 tn According to BDAG 949 s.v. στρῆνος and στρηνιάω, these terms can refer either to luxury or sensuality. In the context of Rev 18, however (as L&N 88.254 indicate) the stress is on gratification of the senses by sexual immorality, so that meaning was emphasized in the translation here.
[18:9] 15 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[18:9] 16 tn On the term ἐστρηνίασεν (estrhniasen) BDAG 949 s.v. στρηνιάω states, “live in luxury, live sensually Rv 18:7. W. πορνεύειν vs. 9.”
[18:9] 17 tn Grk “from the burning of her.” For the translation “the smoke from the fire that burns her up,” see L&N 14.63.
[21:4] 18 tn Grk “God, and he.” 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.
[21:4] 19 tn For the translation of ἀπέρχομαι (apercomai; here ἀπῆλθαν [aphlqan]) L&N 13.93 has “to go out of existence – ‘to cease to exist, to pass away, to cease.’”
[17:8] 20 tn On this term BDAG 2 s.v. ἄβυσσος 2 states, “netherworld, abyss, esp. the abode of the dead Ro 10:7 (Ps 106:26) and of demons Lk 8:31; dungeon where the devil is kept Rv 20:3; abode of the θηρίον, the Antichrist 11:7; 17:8; of ᾿Αβαδδών (q.v.), the angel of the underworld 9:11…φρέαρ τῆς ἀ. 9:1f; capable of being sealed 9:1; 20:1, 3.”
[17:8] 21 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[17:8] 22 tn Some translations take the ὅτι (Joti) here as causal: “because he was, and is not, but is to come” (so NIV, NRSV), but it is much more likely that the subject of the ὅτι clause has been assimilated into the main clause: “when they see the beast, that he was…” = “when they see that the beast was” (so BDAG 732 s.v. ὅτι 1.f, where Rev 17:8 is listed).
