Revelation 6:11

6:11 Each ¹  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ²  of both their fellow servants ³  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Revelation 11:5

11:5 If ⁴  anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths ⁵  and completely consumes ⁶  their enemies. If ⁷  anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way.

Revelation 21:3

21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence ⁸  of God is among human beings. ⁹  He ¹⁰  will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. ¹¹ 

[6:11]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:11]  ² tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

[6:11]  ³ tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[11:5]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

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

[11:5]  ⁶ tn See L&N 20.45 for the translation of κατεσθίω (katesqiw) as “to destroy utterly, to consume completely.”

[11:5]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:3]  ⁷ tn Or “dwelling place”; traditionally, “tabernacle”; literally “tent.”

[21:3]  ⁸ tn Or “people”; Grk “men” (ἀνθρώπων, anqrwpwn), a generic use of the term. In the translation “human beings” was used here because “people” occurs later in the verse and translates a different Greek word (λαοί, laoi).

[21:3]  ⁹ tn Grk “men, and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[21:3]  ¹⁰ tc ‡ Most mss (א Ï^K) do not add the words “[as] their God” (αὐτῶν θεός, autwn qeos) after “he will be with them.” The mss with these words include A 2030 2050 2329 al. The Andreas group (Ï^A) also has the words, but in a different arrangement with the preceding (ἔσται μετ᾿ αὐτῶν θεὸς αὐτῶν, estai met’ autwn qeo" autwn). Not only do the words float, but scribes may have been motivated to make a connection here more directly with Isa 7:14; 8:8; Jer 24:7; 31:33; Zech 8:8. In light of sufficient external evidence as well as the possibility that the longer reading is theologically motivated, the shorter reading is preferred. NA²⁷ places the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.
