Revelation 14:5

14:5 and no lie was found on their lips; ¹  they ²  are blameless.

Revelation 22:15

22:15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers ³  and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood! ⁴ 

Revelation 21:27

21:27 but ⁵  nothing ritually unclean ⁶  will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable ⁷  or practices falsehood, ⁸  but only those whose names ⁹  are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

[14:5]  ¹ tn Grk “in their mouth was not found a lie.”

[14:5]  ² 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.

[22:15]  ³ tn On the term φάρμακοι (farmakoi) see L&N 53.101.

[22:15]  ⁴ tn Or “lying,” “deceit.”

[21:27]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[21:27]  ⁶ tn Here BDAG 552 s.v. κοινός 2 states, “pert. to being of little value because of being common, common, ordinary, profane…b. specifically, of that which is ceremonially impure: Rv 21:27.”

[21:27]  ⁷ tn Or “what is abhorrent”; Grk “who practices abominations.”

[21:27]  ⁸ tn Grk “practicing abomination or falsehood.” Because of the way βδέλυγμα (bdelugma) has been translated (“does what is detestable”) it was necessary to repeat the idea from the participle ποιῶν (poiwn, “practices”) before the term “falsehood.” On this term, BDAG 1097 s.v. ψεῦδος states, “ποιεῖν ψεῦδος practice (the things that go with) falsehood Rv 21:27; 22:15.” Cf. Rev 3:9.

[21:27]  ⁹ tn Grk “those who are written”; the word “names” is implied.
