Revelation 2:10

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown ⁸  into prison so you may be tested, ⁹  and you will experience suffering ¹⁰  for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. ¹¹ 

Revelation 3:10

3:10 Because you have kept ¹²  my admonition ¹³  to endure steadfastly, ¹⁴  I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come on the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

[24:13]  ¹ sn But the person who endures to the end will be saved. Jesus was not claiming here that salvation is by works. He was simply arguing that genuine faith evidences itself in persistence through even the worst of trials.

[6:9]  ² tn Or “not become discouraged,” “not lose heart” (L&N 25.288).

[6:9]  ³ tn Or “if we do not become extremely weary,” “if we do not give out,” “if we do not faint from exhaustion” (L&N 23.79).

[3:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “the beginning of the confidence.”

[10:39]  ⁵ tn Grk “not…of shrinking back to perdition but of faith to the preservation of the soul.”

[1:12]  ⁶ tn The word for “man” or “individual” here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” However, as BDAG 79 s.v. 2 says, here it is “equivalent to τὶς someone, a person.”

[1:12]  ⁷ tc Most mss ([C] P 0246 Ï) read ὁ κύριος (Jo kurio", “the Lord”) here, while others have ὁ θεός (Jo qeo", “God”; 4 33^vid 323 945 1739 al). However, several important and early witnesses (̲³ א A B Ψ 81 co) have no explicit subject. In light of the scribal tendency toward clarification, and the fact that both κύριος and θεός are well represented, there can be no doubt that the original text had no explicit subject. The referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity, not because of textual basis.

[2:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “is about to throw some of you,” but the force is causative in context.

[2:10]  ⁹ tn Or “tempted.”

[2:10]  ¹⁰ tn Or “experience persecution,” “will be in distress” (see L&N 22.2).

[2:10]  ¹¹ tn Grk “crown of life,” with the genitive “of life” (τῆς ζωῆς, th" zwh") functioning in apposition to “crown” (στέφανον, stefanon): “the crown that consists of life.”

[3:10]  ¹² tn Or “obey.” For the translation of τηρέω (threw) as “obey” see L&N 36.19. In the Greek there is a wordplay: “because you have kept my word…I will keep you,” though the meaning of τηρέω is different each time.

[3:10]  ¹³ tn The Greek term λόγον (logon) is understood here in the sense of admonition or encouragement.

[3:10]  ¹⁴ tn Or “to persevere.” Here ὑπομονῆς (Jupomonhs) has been translated as a genitive of reference/respect related to τὸν λόγον (ton logon).
