Revelation 16:2-3

16:2 So ¹  the first angel ²  went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then ³  ugly and painful sores ⁴  appeared on the people ⁵  who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

16:3 Next, ⁶  the second angel ⁷  poured out his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood, like that of a corpse, and every living creature that was in the sea died.

[16:2]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “the first”; the referent (the first angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:2]  ⁴ tn Or “ulcerated sores”; the term in the Greek text is singular but is probably best understood as a collective singular.

[16:2]  ⁵ tn Grk ‘the men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[16:3]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “next” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:3]  ⁷ tn Grk “the second”; the referent (the second angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
