Wahyu 9:4

9:4 They ¹  were told ²  not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those people ³  who did not have the seal of God on their ⁴  forehead.

Wahyu 2:22

2:22 Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness, ⁵  and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, ⁶  unless they repent of her deeds.

[9:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:4]  ² tn The dative indirect object (αὐταῖς, autais) was converted into the subject (“they”) as this more closely approximates English usage. The following ἵ῞να (Jina) is taken as substantival, introducing a direct object clause. In this case, because it is reported speech, the ἵνα is similar to the declarative ὅτι (Joti).

[9:4]  ³ tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.

[9:4]  ⁴ tn The article τῶν (twn) has been translated as a possessive pronoun here (ExSyn 215).

[2:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

[2:22]  ⁶ tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.
