[2:11]  ¹ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[2:26]  ² tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[2:26]  ³ tn Grk “keeps.” In a context that speaks of “holding on to what you have,” the idea here is one of continued faithful behavior (BDAG 1002 s.v. τηρέω 3 has “ὁ τηρῶν τὰ ἔργα μου the one who takes my deeds to heart Rv 2:26”).

[2:26]  ⁴ tn Or “over the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[3:5]  ³ tn Or “who overcomes.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “thus.”

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Or “white robes.”

[3:5]  ⁶ tn The negation here is with οὐ μή (ou mh), the strongest possible form of negation in Koine Greek.

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Or “will never wipe out.”

[3:5]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[3:5]  ⁹ tn Grk “will confess.”

[3:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “The one who conquers, to him I will grant.”

[3:21]  ⁵ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:21]  ⁶ tn Grk “I will give [grant] to him.”

[3:21]  ⁷ tn Or “have been victorious”; traditionally, “have overcome.”

[6:2]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of hearing the voice summon the first rider.

[6:2]  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 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) as mentioned in the text-critical note on 6:1. Thus, for these copyists it was redundant to add “and I looked” again.

[6:2]  ⁷ tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[6:2]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:2]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

[6:2]  ¹¹ tn The participle νικῶν (nikwn) has been translated as substantival, the subject of the verb ἐξῆλθεν (exhlqen). Otherwise, as an adverbial participle of manner, it is somewhat redundant: “he rode out conquering and to conquer.”

[3:12]  ⁶ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[3:12]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[3:12]  ⁹ sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.
