[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.

[18:1]  3 tn Grk “glory”; but often in the sense of splendor, brightness, or radiance (see L&N 14.49).

[20:1]  5 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[20:1]  6 tn The word “holding” is implied. The two clauses “having the key of the abyss” and “a huge chain in his hand” can be construed in two ways: (1) both are controlled by the participle ἔχοντα (econta) and both are modified by the phrase “in his hand” – “having in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.” (2) The participle ἔχοντα refers only to the key, and the phrase “in his hand” refers only to the chain – “having the key of the abyss and holding a huge chain in his hand.” Because of the stylistic tendency in Rev to use the verb ἔχω (ecw) to mean “hold (something)” and the phrase “in his hand” forming a “bracket” along with the verb ἔχω around both the phrases in question, the first option is preferred.
