[7:3]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[17:5]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:5]  ² tn Some translations consider the word μυστήριον (musthrion, “mystery”) a part of the name written (“Mystery Babylon the Great,” so KJV, NIV), but the gender of both ὄνομα (onoma, “name”) and μυστήριον are neuter, while the gender of “Babylon” is feminine. This strongly suggests that μυστήριον should be understood as an appositive to ὄνομα (“a name, i.e., a mystery”).

[9:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:4]  ² tn The dative indirect object (αὐταῖς, autais) was converted into the subject (“they”) as this more closely approximates English usage.

[9:4]  ⁴ tn The article τῶν (twn) has been translated as a possessive pronoun here (ExSyn 215).

[13:16]  ¹ tn Or “forced”; Grk “makes” (ποιεῖ, poiei).

[13:16]  ² tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[14:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:9]  ² tn Grk “And another angel, a third.”

[14:9]  ³ tn Grk “followed them.”

[14:9]  ⁴ tn For the translation of λέγω (legw) as “declare,” see BDAG 590 s.v. 2.e.

[14:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[14:1]  ² tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).
