Revelation 18:8
Context18:8 For this reason, she will experience her plagues 1 in a single day: disease, 2 mourning, 3 and famine, and she will be burned down 4 with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!”
Revelation 21:4
Context21:4 He 5 will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.” 6
[18:8] 1 tn Grk “For this reason, her plagues will come.”
[18:8] 2 tn Grk “death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).
[18:8] 3 tn This is the same Greek word (πένθος, penqo") translated “grief” in vv. 7-8.
[18:8] 4 tn Here “burned down” was used to translate κατακαυθήσεται (katakauqhsetai) because a city is in view.
[21:4] 5 tn Grk “God, and he.” 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.
[21:4] 6 tn For the translation of ἀπέρχομαι (apercomai; here ἀπῆλθαν [aphlqan]) L&N 13.93 has “to go out of existence – ‘to cease to exist, to pass away, to cease.’”
