[21:10]  1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s invitation.

[21:10]  2 tn Or “in the spirit.” “Spirit” could refer either to the Holy Spirit or the human spirit, but in either case John was in “a state of spiritual exaltation best described as a trance” (R. H. Mounce, Revelation [NICNT], 75).

[21:10]  3 tn Grk “to a mountain great and high.”

[4:26]  4 sn The meaning of the statement the Jerusalem above is free is that the other woman represents the second covenant (cf. v. 24); she corresponds to the Jerusalem above that is free. Paul’s argument is very condensed at this point.
