Revelation 14:9

14:9 A ¹  third angel ²  followed the first two, ³  declaring ⁴  in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and takes the mark on his forehead or his hand,

Revelation 14:11

14:11 And the smoke from their ⁵  torture will go up ⁶  forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have ⁷  no rest day or night, along with ⁸  anyone who receives the mark of his name.”

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

² tn Grk “And another angel, a third.”

³ tn Grk “followed them.”

⁴ tn For the translation of λέγω (legw) as “declare,” see BDAG 590 s.v. 2.e.

⁵ tn The Greek pronoun is plural here even though the verbs in the previous verse are singular.

⁶ tn The present tense ἀναβαίνει (anabainei) has been translated as a futuristic present (ExSyn 535-36). This is also consistent with the future passive βασανισθήσεται (basanisqhsetai) in v. 10.

⁷ tn The present tense ἔχουσιν (ecousin) has been translated as a futuristic present to keep the English tense consistent with the previous verb (see note on “will go up” earlier in this verse).

⁸ tn Grk “and.”
