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

² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to bring out the contrast present in this woman’s obstinate refusal to repent.

³ tn Or “I intend.”

⁴ tn This is the literal meaning of the Greek verb ἐμέω (emew). It is usually translated with a much weaker term like “spit out” due to the unpleasant connotations of the English verb “vomit,” as noted by L&N 23.44. The situation confronting the Laodicean church is a dire one, however, and such a term is necessary if the modern reader is to understand the gravity of the situation.

⁵ tn Or “The heavens were.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) can mean either “heaven” or “sky.”

⁶ tn BDAG 125 s.v. ἀποχωρίζω states, “ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπεχωρίσθη the sky was split Rv 6:14.” Although L&N 79.120 gives the meaning “the sky disappeared like a rolled-up scroll” here, a scroll that is rolled up does not “disappear,” and such a translation could be difficult for modern readers to understand.

⁷ tn On this term BDAG 317 s.v. ἑλίσσω states, “ὡς βιβλίον ἑλισσόμενον like a scroll that is rolled up…Rv 6:14.”

⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of new but related material.

⁸ tn Grk “who were sealed.”

⁹ tn Normally, “every,” but since 144,000 is the total number, “all” is clearer here.

¹⁰ tn Grk “the sons of Israel,” normally an idiom for the Israelites as an ethnic entity (L&N 11.58). However, many scholars understand the expression in this context to refer to Christians rather than ethnic Israelites.

⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹⁰ tn The expression τῶν θυμιαμάτων (twn qumiamatwn) is taken as a “genitive of producer,” i.e., the noun in the genitive produces the head noun.

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
