Revelation 20:12

20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then ²²  books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. ²³  So ²⁴  the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds. ²⁵ 

[1:8]  ¹ tn Grk “who,” referring to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:17]  ² sn The Hebrew word סְגֻלָּה (sÿgullah, “special property”) is a technical term referring to all the recipients of God’s redemptive grace, especially Israel (Exod 19:5; Deut 7:6; 14:2; 26:18). The Lord says here that he will not forget even one individual in the day of judgment and reward.

[2:5]  ³ tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

[2:16]  ⁵ tn The form of the Greek word is either present or future, but it is best to translate in future because of the context of future judgment.

[2:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “of people.”

[2:16]  ⁷ sn On my gospel cf. Rom 16:25; 2 Tim 2:8.

[2:2]  ⁸ tn Or “based on truth.”

[1:7]  ⁹ map For location see JP4 A1.

[1:7]  ¹⁰ tn Although the first part of v. 7 is not a complete English sentence, it maintains the “From…to” pattern used in all the Pauline letters to indicate the sender and the recipients. Here, however, there are several intervening verses (vv. 2-6), which makes the first half of v. 7 appear as an isolated sentence fragment.

[1:7]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Grace to you and peace.”

[1:8]  ¹² tn Grk “First.” Paul never mentions a second point, so J. B. Phillips translated “I must begin by telling you….”

[1:9]  ¹³ tn Grk “whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel.”

[1:9]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “as.”

[1:10]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “remember you, always asking.”

[1:10]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “succeed in coming to you in the will of God.”

[1:2]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “the gospel of God, which he promised.” Because of the length and complexity of this sentence in Greek, it was divided into shorter English sentences in keeping with contemporary English style. To indicate the referent of the relative pronoun (“which”), the word “gospel” was repeated at the beginning of v. 2.

[1:18]  ¹⁸ tn The genitive ἀνθρώπων could be taken as an attributed genitive, in which case the phase should be translated “against all ungodly and unrighteous people” (cf. “the truth of God” in v. 25 which is also probably an attributed genitive). C. E. B. Cranfield takes the section 1:18-32 to refer to all people (not just Gentiles), while 2:1-3:20 points out that the Jew is no exception (Romans [ICC], 1:104-6; 1:137-38).

[1:18]  ¹⁹ tn “Their” is implied in the Greek, but is supplied because of English style.

[1:18]  ²⁰ tn Or “by means of unrighteousness.” Grk “in (by) unrighteousness.”

[1:2]  ²¹ tn Grk “the gospel of God, which he promised.” Because of the length and complexity of this sentence in Greek, it was divided into shorter English sentences in keeping with contemporary English style. To indicate the referent of the relative pronoun (“which”), the word “gospel” was repeated at the beginning of v. 2.

[20:12]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[20:12]  ²³ tn Grk “another book was opened, which is of life.”

[20:12]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the books being opened.

[20:12]  ²⁵ tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.”
