¹ tn Or “be anything accursed” (L&N 33.474).

² tn Grk “in it”; the referent (the city, the new Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Grk “city, and his.” Although this is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, a new sentence was started here in the translation because of the introduction of the Lamb’s followers.

⁴ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

⁵ tn Or “will serve.”

⁶ tn Grk “God, and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁷ tn For the translation of ἀπέρχομαι (apercomai; here ἀπῆλθαν [aphlqan]) L&N 13.93 has “to go out of existence – ‘to cease to exist, to pass away, to cease.’”

¹¹ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

¹⁶ tn On the translation “during the day” see BDAG 436 s.v. ἡμέρα 1.a, “But also, as in Thu. et al., of time within which someth. occurs, ἡμέρας during the day Rv 21:25.”

¹⁷ tn The Greek connective γάρ (gar) most often expresses some sort of causal connection. However, in this context there is no causal force to the second phrase; γάρ simply expresses continuation or connection. Because of this it has been translated as “and.” See BDAG 189-90 s.v. 2.

¹⁸ tn The clause has virtually the force of a parenthetical comment.

²¹ tn Or “dwelling place”; traditionally, “tabernacle”; literally “tent.”

²² tn Or “people”; Grk “men” (ἀνθρώπων, anqrwpwn), a generic use of the term. In the translation “human beings” was used here because “people” occurs later in the verse and translates a different Greek word (λαοί, laoi).

²³ tn Grk “men, and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

²⁴ tc ‡ Most mss (א Ï^K) do not add the words “[as] their God” (αὐτῶν θεός, autwn qeos) after “he will be with them.” The mss with these words include A 2030 2050 2329 al. The Andreas group (Ï^A) also has the words, but in a different arrangement with the preceding (ἔσται μετ᾿ αὐτῶν θεὸς αὐτῶν, estai met’ autwn qeo" autwn). Not only do the words float, but scribes may have been motivated to make a connection here more directly with Isa 7:14; 8:8; Jer 24:7; 31:33; Zech 8:8. In light of sufficient external evidence as well as the possibility that the longer reading is theologically motivated, the shorter reading is preferred. NA²⁷ places the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.

²⁶ tn Grk “so that there will be to them authority over the tree of life.”

³¹ tn On this phrase see BDAG 1092 s.v. χρόνος.

³⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the voice.

³⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

³⁸ tn The words “the scroll” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

³⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
