[7:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of new but related material.

[7:4]  ² tn Grk “who were sealed.”

[7:4]  ³ tn Normally, “every,” but since 144,000 is the total number, “all” is clearer here.

[7:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “the sons of Israel,” normally an idiom for the Israelites as an ethnic entity (L&N 11.58). However, many scholars understand the expression in this context to refer to Christians rather than ethnic Israelites.

[9:15]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[9:15]  ² tn The Greek article τήν (thn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.

[9:15]  ³ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.

[9:18]  ¹ tn The phrase ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ τοῦ καπνοῦ καὶ τοῦ θείου τοῦ ἐκπορευομένου ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν (“by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths”) is taken as epexegetical (explanatory) to the phrase τῶν τριῶν πληγῶν τούτων (“these three plagues”).

[11:8]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:8]  ² tn The Greek word πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to a major (broad) street (L&N 1.103).

[11:8]  ³ tn Grk “spiritually.”

[11:12]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[11:12]  ² tn Though the nearest antecedent to the subject of ἤκουσαν (hkousan) is the people (“those who were watching them”), it could also be (based on what immediately follows) that the two prophets are the ones who heard the voice.

[11:12]  ³ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the two prophets) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:12]  ⁴ tn The conjunction καί (kai) seems to be introducing a temporal clause contemporaneous in time with the preceding clause.

[12:13]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.

[12:13]  ² tn Grk “saw.”

[13:5]  ¹ tn Grk “and there was given to him.” Here the passive construction has been simplified, the referent (the beast) has been specified for clarity, and καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:5]  ² tn For the translation “proud words” (Grk “great things” or “important things”) see BDAG 624 s.v. μέγας 4.b.

[13:5]  ³ tn Grk “to it was granted.”

[13:5]  ⁴ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

[16:6]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that this judgment is the result of what these wicked people did to the saints and prophets.

[16:6]  ² tn Grk “They are worthy”; i.e., of this kind of punishment. By extension, “they got what they deserve.”

[16:15]  ¹ tn Grk “and keeps.” BDAG 1002 s.v. τηρέω 2.c states “of holding on to someth. so as not to give it up or lose it…τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ Rv 16:15 (or else he will have to go naked).”

[16:15]  ² tn On the translation of ἀσχημοσύνη (aschmosunh) as “shameful condition” see L&N 25.202. The indefinite third person plural (“and they see”) has been translated as a passive here.

[16:15]  ³ sn These lines are parenthetical, forming an aside to the narrative. The speaker here is the Lord Jesus Christ himself rather than the narrator. Many interpreters have seen this verse as so abrupt that it could not be an original part of the work, but the author has used such asides before (1:7; 14:13) and the suddenness here (on the eve of Armageddon) is completely parallel to Jesus’ warning in Mark 13:15-16 and parallels.

[16:17]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “finally” to indicate the conclusion of the seven bowl judgments.

[16:17]  ² tn Grk “the seventh”; the referent (the seventh angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:10]  ¹ tn That is, one currently reigns.

[21:19]  ¹ tn The perfect participle here has been translated as an intensive (resultative) perfect.

[21:19]  ² sn Agate (also called chalcedony) is a semiprecious stone usually milky or gray in color (L&N 2.32).

[22:14]  ¹ tn Grk “so that there will be to them authority over the tree of life.”
