Revelation 3:12

3:12 The one who conquers ¹  I will make ²  a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I ³  will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), ⁴  and my new name as well.

Revelation 14:1

An Interlude: The Song of the 144,000

14:1 Then ⁵  I looked, and here was ⁶  the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were one hundred and forty-four thousand, who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

[3:12]  ¹ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:12]  ² tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[3:12]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[3:12]  ⁴ sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.

[14:1]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[14:1]  ⁶ tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).
