Revelation 21:26

21:26 They will bring the grandeur and the wealth ¹  of the nations ²  into it,

Revelation 2:26

Revelation 11:9

11:9 For three and a half days those from every ⁶  people, tribe, ⁷  nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb. ⁸ 

Revelation 22:2

22:2 flowing down the middle of the city’s ⁹  main street. ¹⁰  On each side ¹¹  of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds ¹²  of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. ¹³  Its leaves are for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 16:19

16:19 The ¹⁴  great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nations ¹⁵  collapsed. ¹⁶  So ¹⁷  Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cup ¹⁸  filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath. ¹⁹ 

[21:26]  ¹ tn Grk “honor,” but BDAG 1005 s.v. τιμή 2.b states, “An outstanding feature of the use of τ., as already shown in several passages, is its combination w. δόξα…of earthly possessions τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῶν ἐθνῶν Rv 21:26 (τιμή concr.=an object of value: Ezk 22:25).”

[21:26]  ² tn Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[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”).

[11:9]  ⁵ tn The word “every” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the following list.

[11:9]  ⁶ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated before this and the following items in the list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:9]  ⁷ tn Or “to be buried.”

[22:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “its”; the referent (the city, the new Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:2]  ⁸ tn The Greek word πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to a major (broad) street (L&N 1.103).

[22:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “From here and from there.”

[22:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “twelve crops” (one for each month of the year).

[22:2]  ¹¹ tn The words “of the year” are implied.

[16:19]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “of the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[16:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “fell.”

[16:19]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Babylon’s misdeeds (see Rev 14:8).

[16:19]  ¹³ tn Grk “the cup of the wine of the anger of the wrath of him.” The concatenation of four genitives has been rendered somewhat differently by various translations (see the note on the word “wrath”).

[16:19]  ¹⁴ tn Following BDAG 461 s.v. θυμός 2, the combination of the genitives of θυμός (qumo") and ὀργή (orgh) in Rev 16:19 and 19:15 are taken to be a strengthening of the thought as in the OT and Qumran literature (Exod 32:12; Jer 32:37; Lam 2:3; CD 10:9). Thus in Rev 14:8 (to which the present passage alludes) and 18:3 there is irony: The wine of immoral behavior with which Babylon makes the nations drunk becomes the wine of God’s wrath for her.
