Revelation 2:22

2:22 Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness, ¹  and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, ²  unless they repent of her deeds.

Revelation 16:11

16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferings ³  and because of their sores, ⁴  but nevertheless ⁵  they still refused to repent ⁶  of their deeds.

[2:22]  ¹ tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

[2:22]  ² tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.

[16:11]  ³ tn Grk “pains” (the same term in Greek [πόνος, ponos] as the last word in v. 11, here translated “sufferings” because it is plural). BDAG 852 s.v. 2 states, “ἐκ τοῦ π. in pain…Rv 16:10; pl. (Gen 41:51; Jos., C. Ap. 2, 146; Test. Jud. 18:4) ἐκ τῶν π. …because of their sufferings vs. 11.”

[16:11]  ⁴ tn Or “ulcerated sores” (see 16:2).

[16:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “and they did not repent.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but nevertheless” to express the contrast here.

[16:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “they did not repent” The addition of “still refused” reflects the hardness of people’s hearts in the context.
