[2:13]  ¹ tc The shorter reading adopted here has superior ms support (א A C P 2053 al latt co), while the inclusion of “your works and” (τὰ ἔργα σου καί, ta erga sou kai) before “where you reside” is supported by the Byzantine witnesses and is evidently a secondary attempt to harmonize the passage with 2:2, 19; 3:1, 8, 15.

[2:13]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Yet” to indicate the contrast between their location and their faithful behavior.

[2:13]  ³ tn The present indicative verb κρατεῖς (kratei") has been translated as a progressive present.

[2:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “the faith”; here the Greek article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[2:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “the faith of me” (τὴν πίστιν μου, thn pistin mou) with the genitive “of me” (μου) functioning objectively.

[2:13]  ⁶ tn Or “martyr.” The Greek word μάρτυς can mean either “witness” or “martyr.”

[2:13]  ⁷ tn Grk “killed among you.” The term “city” does not occur in the Greek text of course, but the expression παρ᾿ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ (par’ Jumin, {opou Jo satana" katoikei) seems to indicate that this is what is meant. See G. B. Caird, Revelation (HNTC), 36-38.

[3:1]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated due to differences between Greek and English style.

[3:1]  ⁹ tn The phrase “the following” after “write” is supplied to clarify that what follows is the content of what is to be written.

[3:1]  ¹¹ tn Grk “who has” (cf. 1:16).

[3:1]  ¹² tn Grk “a name.”

[3:1]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[3:1]  ¹⁴ tn The prepositional phrase “in reality” is supplied in the translation to make explicit the idea that their being alive was only an illusion.

[3:9]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “behold” (L&N 91.13).

[3:9]  ¹⁶ sn See the note on synagogue in 2:9.

[3:9]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast between what these people claimed and what they were.

[3:9]  ¹⁸ tn The verb here is ποιέω (poiew), but in this context it has virtually the same meaning as δίδωμι (didwmi) used at the beginning of the verse. Stylistic variation like this is typical of Johannine literature.

[3:9]  ¹⁹ tn The verb here is προσκυνήσουσιν (proskunhsousin), normally used to refer to worship.

[3:9]  ²⁰ tn Or “and know,” “and recognize.”

[7:14]  ³² 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.

[8:12]  ³⁷ tn Grk “the day did not shine [with respect to] the third of it.”

[11:13]  ⁴³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
