Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Rev 2:23

¹ tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.

² tn Grk “I will kill with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

³ tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

⁴ sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

⁵ tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”
