Revelation 3:5

3:5 The one who conquers ¹  will be dressed like them ²  in white clothing, ³  and I will never ⁴  erase ⁵  his name from the book of life, but ⁶  will declare ⁷  his name before my Father and before his angels.

Revelation 11:5

11:5 If ⁸  anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths ⁹  and completely consumes ¹⁰  their enemies. If ¹¹  anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way.

Revelation 16:18

16:18 Then ¹²  there were flashes of lightning, roaring, ¹³  and crashes of thunder, and there was a tremendous earthquake – an earthquake unequaled since humanity ¹⁴  has been on the earth, so tremendous was that earthquake.

Revelation 18:21

18:21 Then ¹⁵  one powerful angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone, threw it into the sea, and said,

“With this kind of sudden violent force ¹⁶ 

Babylon the great city will be thrown down ¹⁷ 

and it will never be found again!

[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “who overcomes.”

[3:5]  ² tn Grk “thus.”

[3:5]  ³ tn Or “white robes.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn The negation here is with οὐ μή (ou mh), the strongest possible form of negation in Koine Greek.

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Or “will never wipe out.”

[3:5]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “will confess.”

[11:5]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:5]  ⁹ tn This is a collective singular in Greek.

[11:5]  ¹⁰ tn See L&N 20.45 for the translation of κατεσθίω (katesqiw) as “to destroy utterly, to consume completely.”

[11:5]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:18]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:18]  ¹⁶ tn Or “sounds,” “voices.” It is not entirely clear what this refers to. BDAG 1071 s.v. φωνή 1 states, “In Rv we have ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί (cp. Ex 19:16) 4:5; 8:5; 11:19; 16:18 (are certain other sounds in nature thought of here in addition to thunder, as e.g. the roar of the storm?…).”

[16:18]  ¹⁷ tn The singular ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used generically here to refer to the human race.

[18:21]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[18:21]  ²³ tn On ὅρμημα ({ormhma) BDAG 724 s.v. states, “violent rush, onset ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται Βαβυλών Babylon will be thrown down with violence Rv 18:21.” L&N 68.82 refers to the suddenness of the force or violence.

[18:21]  ²⁴ sn Thrown down is a play on both the words and the action. The angel’s action with the stone illustrates the kind of sudden violent force with which the city will be overthrown.
