Revelation 10:1

The Angel with the Little Scroll

10:1 Then ¹  I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped ²  in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire. ³ 

Revelation 3:12

3:12 The one who conquers ⁴  I will make ⁵  a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I ⁶  will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), ⁷  and my new name as well.

[10:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[10:1]  ² tn Or “clothed.”

[10:1]  ³ tn Or “like fiery pillars,” translating πυρός (puros) as an attributive genitive.

[3:12]  ⁴ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[3:12]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[3:12]  ⁷ sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.
