[4:7]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:7]  ² tn Both here and before the phrase “the third,” καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[13:12]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:12]  ⁴ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

[13:12]  ⁵ tn For this meaning see BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνώπιον 4.b, “by the authority of, on behalf of Rv 13:12, 14; 19:20.”
