Revelation 20:12-13

20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then ¹  books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. ²  So ³  the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds. ⁴  20:13 The ⁵  sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death ⁶  and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

[20:12]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[20:12]  ² tn Grk “another book was opened, which is of life.”

[20:12]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the books being opened.

[20:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.”

[20:13]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[20:13]  ⁶ sn Here Death is personified (cf. 1 Cor 15:55).
