[3:4]  1 tn Grk “a few names”; here ὄνομα (onoma) is used by figurative extension to mean “person” or “people”; according to L&N 9.19 there is “the possible implication of existence or relevance as individuals.”

[3:4]  2 tn Or “soiled” (so NAB, NRSV, NIV); NCV “have kept their clothes unstained”; CEV “have not dirtied your clothes with sin.”

[3:4]  3 tn The word “dressed” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[3:5]  4 tn Or “who overcomes.”

[3:5]  5 tn Grk “thus.”

[3:5]  6 tn Or “white robes.”

[3:5]  7 tn The negation here is with οὐ μή (ou mh), the strongest possible form of negation in Koine Greek.

[3:5]  8 tn Or “will never wipe out.”

[3:5]  9 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[3:5]  10 tn Grk “will confess.”

[4:4]  7 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:4]  8 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were” to indicate the connection to the preceding material.

[4:4]  9 sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.
