Revelation 17:11

17:11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself an eighth king and yet is one of the seven, and is going to destruction.

Revelation 18:16

18:16 saying,

“Woe, woe, O great city –

dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing,

and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls –


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

tn The word “clothing” is supplied to clarify that the words “purple” and “scarlet” refer to cloth or garments rather than colors.

tn Grk “gilded with gold” (an instance of semantic reinforcement, see L&N 49.29).
