[11:3]  1 tn The word “authority” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. “Power” would be another alternative that could be supplied here.

[21:25]  2 tn On the translation “during the day” see BDAG 436 s.v. ἡμέρα 1.a, “But also, as in Thu. et al., of time within which someth. occurs, ἡμέρας during the day Rv 21:25.”

[21:25]  3 tn The Greek connective γάρ (gar) most often expresses some sort of causal connection. However, in this context there is no causal force to the second phrase; γάρ simply expresses continuation or connection. Because of this it has been translated as “and.” See BDAG 189-90 s.v. 2.

[21:25]  4 tn The clause has virtually the force of a parenthetical comment.
