Revelation 2:22

Revelation 3:2

3:2 Wake up then, and strengthen what remains that was about ⁶  to die, because I have not found your deeds complete ⁷  in the sight ⁸  of my God.

Revelation 16:11

16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferings ⁹  and because of their sores, ¹⁰  but nevertheless ¹¹  they still refused to repent ¹²  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.

[2:26]  ³ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[2:26]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Or “over the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[3:2]  ⁵ tn The verb ἔμελλον (emellon) is in the imperfect tense.

[3:2]  ⁶ tn The perfect passive participle has been translated as an intensive (resultative) perfect here.

[3:2]  ⁷ tn Or “in the judgment.” BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνώπιον 3 states, “in the opinion/judgment of…As a rule…of θεός or κύριος; so after…πεπληρωμένος Rv 3:2.”

[16:11]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Or “ulcerated sores” (see 16:2).

[16:11]  ⁹ tn Grk “and they did not repent.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but nevertheless” to express the contrast here.

[16:11]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “they did not repent” The addition of “still refused” reflects the hardness of people’s hearts in the context.
