Revelation 7:16

7:16 They will never go hungry or be thirsty again, and the sun will not beat down on them, nor any burning heat, ¹ 

Revelation 5:3

5:3 But ²  no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.

Revelation 12:8

12:8 But ³  the dragon was not strong enough to prevail, ⁴  so there was no longer any place left ⁵  in heaven for him and his angels. ⁶ 

Revelation 9:4

9:4 They ⁷  were told ⁸  not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those people ⁹  who did not have the seal of God on their ¹⁰  forehead.

Revelation 21:23

21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Revelation 20:4

20:4 Then ¹¹  I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. ¹²  I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These ¹³  had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They ¹⁴  came to life ¹⁵  and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

¹ tn An allusion to Isa 49:10. The phrase “burning heat” is one word in Greek (καῦμα, kauma) that refers to a burning, intensely-felt heat. See BDAG 536 s.v.

² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the implied contrast.

⁴ tn The words “to prevail” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

⁵ tn Grk “found.”

⁶ tn Grk “for them”; the referent (the dragon and his angels, v. 7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ tn The dative indirect object (αὐταῖς, autais) was converted into the subject (“they”) as this more closely approximates English usage. The following ἵ῞να (Jina) is taken as substantival, introducing a direct object clause. In this case, because it is reported speech, the ἵνα is similar to the declarative ὅτι (Joti).

⁶ tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.

⁷ tn The article τῶν (twn) has been translated as a possessive pronoun here (ExSyn 215).

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

⁶ tn Grk “I saw thrones, and those seated on them, and judgment was given to them.” BDAG 567 s.v. κρίμα 3 says, “judging, judgment, the κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς authority to judge was given to them Rv 20:4.”

⁷ tn Grk “God, and who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “these” as subject.

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁹ tn On the use of the aorist ἔζησαν (ezhsan) BDAG 425 s.v. ζάω 1.a.β says, “of dead persons who return to life become alive again: of humans in general (3 Km 17:23) Mt 9:18; Ac 9:41; 20:12; Rv 20:4, 5.”
