Revelation 12:8

12:8 But ¹  the dragon was not strong enough to prevail, ²  so there was no longer any place left ³  in heaven for him and his angels. ⁴ 

Revelation 14:5

14:5 and no lie was found on their lips; ⁵  they ⁶  are blameless.

Revelation 5:4

5:4 So ⁷  I began weeping bitterly ⁸  because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

Revelation 18:24

18:24 The ⁹  blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, ¹⁰ 

along with the blood ¹¹  of all those who had been killed on the earth.”

[12:8]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the implied contrast.

[12:8]  ² tn The words “to prevail” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[12:8]  ³ tn Grk “found.”

[12:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “for them”; the referent (the dragon and his angels, v. 7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “in their mouth was not found a lie.”

[14:5]  ⁶ tc Several mss (Ì⁴⁷ א 1 1006 1611 2351 Ï^K pc) have the conjunction “for” (γάρ, gar) here so that the phrase reads: “for they are blameless.” Other important mss (A C P 1854 2053 al lat) lack the word. The shorter reading is to be preferred since the scribes were more likely to make the connection explicit through the addition of “for” than they would have been to omit the conjunction. As it is, the passage without the conjunction makes good sense and evokes a very somber tone.

[5:4]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of no one being found worthy to open the scroll.

[5:4]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “much.”

[18:24]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:24]  ¹⁴ tn The shift in pronouns from second to third person corresponds to the Greek text.

[18:24]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “and of all.” The phrase “along with the blood” has been repeated from the previous clause for stylistic reasons.
