Revelation 2:10

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown ¹  into prison so you may be tested, ²  and you will experience suffering ³  for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. ⁴ 

Revelation 6:8

6:8 So ⁵  I looked ⁶  and here came ⁷  a pale green ⁸  horse! The ⁹  name of the one who rode it ¹⁰  was Death, and Hades followed right behind. ¹¹  They ¹²  were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, ¹³  famine, and disease, ¹⁴  and by the wild animals of the earth.

Revelation 8:6

8:6 Now ¹⁵  the seven angels holding ¹⁶  the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

Revelation 18:7

18:7 As much as ¹⁷  she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, ¹⁸  to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself, ¹⁹  ‘I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief!’

[2:10]  ¹ tn Grk “is about to throw some of you,” but the force is causative in context.

[2:10]  ² tn Or “tempted.”

[2:10]  ³ tn Or “experience persecution,” “will be in distress” (see L&N 22.2).

[2:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “crown of life,” with the genitive “of life” (τῆς ζωῆς, th" zwh") functioning in apposition to “crown” (στέφανον, stefanon): “the crown that consists of life.”

[6:8]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the summons by the fourth creature.

[6:8]  ⁶ tc The reading “and I looked” (καὶ εἶδον, kai eidon) or some slight variation (e.g., ἶδον, idon) has excellent ms support ({א A C P 1611}) and its omission seems to have come through the mss that have already placed “and look” (καὶ ἴδε or καὶ βλέπε [kai ide or kai blepe]) after the verb “come” (ἔρχου, ercou) in 6:1. Thus, for these copyists it was redundant to add “and I looked” again.

[6:8]  ⁷ tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[6:8]  ⁸ tn A sickly pallor, when referring to persons, or the green color of plants. BDAG 1085 s.v. χλωρός 2 states, “pale, greenish gray…as the color of a pers. in sickness contrasted with appearance in health…so the horse ridden by Death…ἵππος χλωρός Rv 6:8.” Because the color of the horse is symbolic, “pale green” is used in the translation. Cf. NIV, NCV “pale”; NASB “ashen.”

[6:8]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:8]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:8]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And Hades was following with him.” The Greek expression μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ (met’ autou, “with him”) is Semitic and indicates close proximity. The translation “followed right behind” reflects this.

[6:8]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:8]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:8]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “with 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).

[8:6]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[8:6]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “having.”

[18:7]  ¹³ tn “As much as” is the translation of ὅσα (Josa).

[18:7]  ¹⁴ tn On the term ἐστρηνίασεν (estrhniasen) BDAG 949 s.v. στρηνιάω states, “live in luxury, live sensually Rv 18:7. W. πορνεύειν vs. 9.”

[18:7]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “said in her heart,” an idiom for saying something to oneself.
