Revelation 13:14

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

² tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

³ tn For this meaning see BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνώπιον 4.b, “by the authority of, on behalf of Rv 13:12, 14; 19:20.”

⁴ tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.
