Revelation 22:12

22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,

and my reward is with me to pay ¹  each one according to what he has done!

Revelation 2:23

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

Revelation 6:11

6:11 Each ⁷  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ⁸  of both their fellow servants ⁹  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

[22:12]  ¹ tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.

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

[2:23]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

[2:23]  ⁵ sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

[2:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”

[6:11]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

[6:11]  ⁵ tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
