[1:15]  1 tn The precise meaning of the term translated “polished bronze” (χαλκολιβάνῳ, calkolibanw), which appears nowhere else in Greek literature outside of the book of Revelation (see 2:18), is uncertain. Without question it is some sort of metal. BDAG 1076 s.v. χαλκολίβανον suggests “fine brass/bronze.” L&N 2.57 takes the word to refer to particularly valuable or fine bronze, but notes that the emphasis here and in Rev 2:18 is more on the lustrous quality of the metal.

[1:15]  2 tn Or “that has been heated in a furnace until it glows.”

[1:15]  3 tn Grk “sound,” but the idea is closer to the roar of a waterfall or rapids.

[2:21]  4 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and contemporary English style.

[2:21]  5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to bring out the contrast present in this woman’s obstinate refusal to repent.

[18:5]  7 tn On ἐκολλήθησαν (ekollhqhsan) BDAG 556 s.v. κολλάω 2.a.β states, “fig. cling to = come in close contact with (cp. Ps 21:16; 43:26 ἐκολλήθη εἰς γῆν ἡ γαστὴρ ἡμῶν. The act.=‘bring into contact’ PGM 5, 457 κολλήσας τ. λίθον τῷ ὠτίῳ) ἐκολλήθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τ. οὐρανοῦ the sins have touched the heaven = reached the sky (two exprs. are telescoped) Rv 18:5.”

[18:5]  8 tn Or “up to the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[18:5]  9 tn That is, remembered her sins to execute judgment on them.

[18:5]  10 tn Or “her sins.”

[21:7]  10 tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
