Revelation 3:12

3:12 The one who conquers ⁶  I will make ⁷  a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I ⁸  will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), ⁹  and my new name as well.

³ tn Or “prepare.”

⁴ tn Or “bring you.”

⁵ tn Grk “to myself.”

⁶ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

⁷ tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

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

⁹ sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.
