Revelation 3:11

3:11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away your crown.

Revelation 5:4

5:4 So I began weeping bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

tn On the verb λάβῃ (labh) here BDAG 583 s.v. λαμβάνω 2 states, “to take away, remove…with or without the use of force τὰ ἀργύρια take away the silver coins (fr. the temple) Mt 27:6. τὰς ἀσθενείας diseases 8:17. τὸν στέφανον Rv 3:11.”

sn Your crown refers to a wreath consisting either of foliage or of precious metals formed to resemble foliage and worn as a symbol of honor, victory, or as a badge of high office – ‘wreath, crown’ (L&N 6.192).

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of no one being found worthy to open the scroll.

tn Grk “much.”
