[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 ÏK 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.

[20:15]  17 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[20:15]  18 tn The word “name” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[20:15]  19 tn Grk “he”; the pronoun has been intensified by translating as “that person.”

[18:21]  21 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[18:21]  22 tn On ὅρμημα ({ormhma) BDAG 724 s.v. states, “violent rush, onset ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται Βαβυλών Babylon will be thrown down with violence Rv 18:21.” L&N 68.82 refers to the suddenness of the force or violence.

[18:21]  23 sn Thrown down is a play on both the words and the action. The angel’s action with the stone illustrates the kind of sudden violent force with which the city will be overthrown.

[18:22]  25 tn The shift to a second person pronoun here corresponds to the Greek text.

[18:22]  26 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:22]  27 tn On this term BDAG 1001 s.v. τεχνίτης states, “craftsperson, artisan, designer…Of a silversmith Ac 19:24, 25 v.l., 38….Of a potter 2 Cl 8:2 (metaph., cp. Ath. 15:2). πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης Rv 18:22.”

[18:22]  28 tn This is a different Greek word (μύλος, mulos) from the one for the millstone in v. 21 (μύλινος, mulinos). See L&N 7.68.

[20:11]  29 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[20:11]  30 tn Traditionally, “great,” but μέγας (megas) here refers to size rather than importance.

[20:11]  31 tn Or “and the sky.” The same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky,” and context usually determines which is meant. In this apocalyptic scene, however, it is difficult to be sure what referent to assign the term.

[20:11]  32 tn Or “vanished.”
