Revelation 2:22-23

Context
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. 2:23 Furthermore, I will strike her followers 3  with a deadly disease, 4  and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay 5  each one of you 6  what your deeds deserve. 7

[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.

[2:23]  3 tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.

[2:23]  4 tn Grk “I will kill with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

[2:23]  5 tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

[2:23]  6 sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

[2:23]  7 tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”
