[17:7]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[17:7]  ² tn Grk “I will tell you,” but since what follows is the angel’s interpretation of the vision, “interpret for you” is the preferred translation here.

[21:5]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[21:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “faithful.”

[21:6]  ⁵ tn Or “It has happened.”

[21:6]  ⁶ tn The word “water” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[22:6]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[7:14]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[7:14]  ¹² tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
