[3:19]  ¹ tn The Greek pronoun ὅσος (Josos) means “as many as” and can be translated “All those” or “Everyone.”

[2:22]  ² tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

[2:22]  ³ tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.

[2:5]  ³ tn Grk “from where,” but status is in view rather than physical position. On this term BDAG 838 s.v. πόθεν 1 states, “from what place? from where?…In imagery μνημόνευε πόθεν πέπτωκες remember from what (state) you have fallen Rv 2:5.”

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “and do” (a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text). For stylistic reasons in English a new sentence was started here in the translation. The repeated mention of repenting at the end of the verse suggests that the intervening material (“do the deeds you did at first”) specifies how the repentance is to be demonstrated.

[2:5]  ⁵ tn Or “you did formerly.”

[2:5]  ⁶ tn Although the final clause is somewhat awkward, it is typical of the style of Revelation.

[3:3]  ⁴ tn The expression πῶς εἴληφας καὶ ἤκουσας (pw" eilhfa" kai hkousa") probably refers to the initial instruction in the Christian life they had received and been taught; this included doctrine and ethical teaching.

[3:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “keep it,” in the sense of obeying what they had initially been taught.

[3:3]  ⁶ tn The negation here is with οὐ μή (ou mh, the strongest possible form of negation in Koine Greek).

[3:3]  ⁷ tn Or “come on.”

[3:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “Behold.”

[3:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “come in to him.”

[13:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “it”; the referent (the second beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “it was given [permitted] to it [the second beast].”

[13:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “breath,” but in context the point is that the image of the first beast is made to come to life and speak.

[13:15]  ⁹ tn Grk “of the beast”; the word “first” has been supplied to specify the referent.

[22:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “written.”

[11:6]  ⁸ tn Or “authority.”

[11:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “the days.”

[11:6]  ¹⁰ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:6]  ¹¹ tn Or “authority.”

[22:19]  ⁹ tc The Textus Receptus, on which the KJV rests, reads “the book” of life (ἀπὸ βίβλου, apo biblou) instead of “the tree” of life. When the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus translated the NT he had access to no Greek mss for the last six verses of Revelation. So he translated the Latin Vulgate back into Greek at this point. As a result he created seventeen textual variants which were not in any Greek mss. The most notorious of these is this reading. It is thus decidedly inauthentic, while “the tree” of life, found in the best and virtually all Greek mss, is clearly authentic. The confusion was most likely due to an intra-Latin switch: The form of the word for “tree” in Latin in this passage is ligno; the word for “book” is libro. The two-letter difference accounts for an accidental alteration in some Latin mss; that “book of life” as well as “tree of life” is a common expression in the Apocalypse probably accounts for why this was not noticed by Erasmus or the KJV translators. (This textual problem is not discussed in NA²⁷.)
