Revelation 3:12

3:12 The one who conquers ¹  I will make ²  a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I ³  will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), ⁴  and my new name as well.

Revelation 7:11

7:11 And all the angels stood ⁵  there in a circle around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground ⁶  before the throne and worshiped God,

¹ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

² tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁴ sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.

⁵ tn The verb is pluperfect, but the force is simple past. See ExSyn 586.

⁶ tn Grk “they fell down on their faces.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”
