Revelation 6:11

6:11 Each ¹  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ²  of both their fellow servants ³  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Revelation 22:9

22:9 But ⁴  he said to me, “Do not do this! ⁵  I am a fellow servant ⁶  with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey ⁷  the words of this book. Worship God!”

Revelation 19:10

19:10 So ⁸  I threw myself down ⁹  at his feet to worship him, but ¹⁰  he said, “Do not do this! ¹¹  I am only ¹²  a fellow servant ¹³  with you and your brothers ¹⁴  who hold to the testimony about ¹⁵  Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

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

² tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

³ tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

⁵ tn On the elliptical expression ὅρα μή ({ora mh) BDAG 720 s.v. ὁράω B.2 states: “Elliptically…ὅρα μή (sc. ποιήσῃς) watch out! don’t do that! Rv 19:10; 22:9.”

⁶ tn Grk “fellow slave.” Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) is here translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

⁷ tn Grk “keep” (an idiom for obedience).

⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s announcement.

⁸ tn Grk “I fell down at his feet.” 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.”

⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

¹⁰ tn On the elliptical expression ὅρα μή (Jora mh) BDAG 720 s.v. ὁράω B.2 states: “Elliptically…ὅρα μή (sc. ποιήσῃς) watch out! don’t do that! Rv 19:10; 22:9.”

¹¹ tn The lowliness of a slave is emphasized in the Greek text with the emphatic position of σύνδουλος (sundoulo"). The use of “only” helps to bring this nuance out in English.

¹² tn Grk “fellow slave.” See the note on the word “servants” in v. 2.

¹³ tn The Greek term “brother” literally refers to family relationships, but here it is used in a broader sense to connote familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).

¹⁴ tn The genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) has been translated as an objective genitive here. A subjective genitive, also possible, would produce the meaning “who hold to what Jesus testifies.”
