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

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

[15:2]  3 sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.

[15:2]  4 tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”

[15:2]  5 tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”

[15:2]  6 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]  7 tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.
