Revelation 13:14

13:14 and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told ¹  those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

Revelation 14:11

14:11 And the smoke from their ²  torture will go up ³  forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have ⁴  no rest day or night, along with ⁵  anyone who receives the mark of his name.”

Revelation 15:2

15:2 Then ⁶  I saw something like a sea of glass ⁷  mixed with fire, and those who had conquered ⁸  the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing ⁹  by ¹⁰  the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. ¹¹ 

Revelation 16:2

16:2 So ¹²  the first angel ¹³  went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then ¹⁴  ugly and painful sores ¹⁵  appeared on the people ¹⁶  who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

[13:14]  ¹ tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.

[14:11]  ² tn The Greek pronoun is plural here even though the verbs in the previous verse are singular.

[14:11]  ³ tn The present tense ἀναβαίνει (anabainei) has been translated as a futuristic present (ExSyn 535-36). This is also consistent with the future passive βασανισθήσεται (basanisqhsetai) in v. 10.

[14:11]  ⁴ tn The present tense ἔχουσιν (ecousin) has been translated as a futuristic present to keep the English tense consistent with the previous verb (see note on “will go up” earlier in this verse).

[14:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “and.”

[15:2]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[15:2]  ⁴ sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.

[15:2]  ⁵ tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”

[15:2]  ⁷ tn Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See BDAG 363 s.v. ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.”

[15:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.

[16:2]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the directions given by the voice from the temple.

[16:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “the first”; the referent (the first angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:2]  ⁷ tn Or “ulcerated sores”; the term in the Greek text is singular but is probably best understood as a collective singular.

[16:2]  ⁸ tn Grk ‘the men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.
