Revelation 2:10

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown ⁷  into prison so you may be tested, ⁸  and you will experience suffering ⁹  for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. ¹⁰ 

Revelation 4:4

4:4 In ¹¹  a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were ¹²  dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns ¹³  on their heads.

4:10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground ¹⁴  before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns ¹⁵  before his ¹⁶  throne, saying:

¹ tn Although usually thought to be a “turban” (and so translated by the majority of English versions) this object might be only a “turban-like headband” wound around the forehead area (HALOT 624 s.v. מִצְנֶפֶת).

² sn The gold plate was attached as a holy diadem to the front of the turban by means of a blue cord, and had written on it “Holy to the Lord” (Exod 28:36-37; 39:30-31). This was a particularly important article of high priestly clothing in that it served as the main emblem indicating Aaron’s acceptable representation of Israel before the Lord (Exod 28:38).

³ tn Heb “grace and loyal love.” The expression is probably a hendiadys.

⁴ tc The LXX does not include the words “more than all the other young women.”

⁵ tn Heb “caused her to rule.”

⁶ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

⁷ tn Grk “is about to throw some of you,” but the force is causative in context.

⁸ tn Or “tempted.”

⁹ tn Or “experience persecution,” “will be in distress” (see L&N 22.2).

¹⁰ tn Grk “crown of life,” with the genitive “of life” (τῆς ζωῆς, th" zwh") functioning in apposition to “crown” (στέφανον, stefanon): “the crown that consists of life.”

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

¹² tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were” to indicate the connection to the preceding material.

¹³ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

¹⁴ tn Grk “the twenty-four elders fall down.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

¹⁵ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

¹⁶ tn The pronoun “his” is understood from the demonstrative force of the article τοῦ (tou) before θρόνου (qronou).
