Revelation 3:4

3:4 But you have a few individuals ¹  in Sardis who have not stained ²  their clothes, and they will walk with me dressed ³  in white, because they are worthy.

Revelation 21:24

21:24 The nations ⁴  will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur ⁵  into it.

¹ tn Grk “a few names”; here ὄνομα (onoma) is used by figurative extension to mean “person” or “people”; according to L&N 9.19 there is “the possible implication of existence or relevance as individuals.”

² tn Or “soiled” (so NAB, NRSV, NIV); NCV “have kept their clothes unstained”; CEV “have not dirtied your clothes with sin.”

³ tn The word “dressed” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

⁴ tn Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

⁵ tn Or “splendor”; Grk “glory.”
