Revelation 19:2

19:2 because his judgments are true and just. ⁵ 

For he has judged ⁶  the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,

and has avenged the blood of his servants ⁷  poured out by her own hands!” ⁸ 

[6:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:10]  ² tn Grk “voice, saying”; the participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[6:10]  ³ tn The expression ἕως πότε (ews pote) was translated “how long.” Cf. BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 1.b.γ.

[19:2]  ⁵ tn Compare the similar phrase in Rev 16:7.

[19:2]  ⁷ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[19:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “from her hand” (referring to her responsibility in causing the blood of God’s followers to be shed).
