[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.

[13:16]  ⁴ tn Or “forced”; Grk “makes” (ποιεῖ, poiei).

[13:16]  ⁵ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[19:5]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[19:18]  ¹⁰ tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause, insofar as it is related to the first imperative, has the force of an imperative.

[19:18]  ¹¹ tn The idea of eating “your fill” is evident in the context with the use of χορτάζω (cortazw) in v. 21.

[19:18]  ¹² tn Grk “chiliarchs”; normally a chiliarch was a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15).

[19:18]  ¹³ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[20:3]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel introduced in v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:3]  ¹⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[20:3]  ¹⁵ tn Or “and shut.” While the lexical force of the term is closer to “shut,” it is acceptable to render the verb ἔκλεισεν (ekleisen) as “locked” here in view of the mention of the key in the previous verse.

[3:8]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “I have given.”

[3:8]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “to shut it,” but English would leave the direct object understood in this case.

[3:8]  ¹⁸ tn This translation is based on connecting the ὅτι (Joti) clause with the οἶδα (oida) at the beginning of the verse, giving the content of what is known (see also 3:1, 3:15 for parallels). Because of the intervening clause that is virtually parenthetical (see the note on the word “shut” earlier in this verse), the words “I know that” from the beginning of the verse had to be repeated to make this connection clear for the English reader. However, the ὅτι could be understood as introducing a causal subordinate clause instead and thus translated, “because you have.”

[3:8]  ¹⁹ tn Or “little power.”

[3:8]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[3:8]  ²¹ tn Grk “and having kept.” The participle ἐτήρησας (ethrhsas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. For the translation of τηρέω (threw) as “obey” see L&N 36.19. This is the same word that is used in 3:10 (there translated “kept”) where there is a play on words.

[11:18]  ¹⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:18]  ²⁰ tn Or “The Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:18]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:18]  ²² tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[11:18]  ²³ tn Grk “who fear.”

[11:18]  ²⁴ tn The words “the time has come” do not occur except at the beginning of the verse; the phrase has been repeated for emphasis and contrast. The Greek has one finite verb (“has come”) with a compound subject (“your wrath,” “the time”), followed by three infinitive clauses (“to be judged,” “to give,” “to destroy”). The rhetorical power of the repetition of the finite verb in English thus emulates the rhetorical power of its lone instance in Greek.

[11:18]  ²⁵ tn Or “who deprave.” There is a possible wordplay here on two meanings for διαφθείρω (diafqeirw), with the first meaning “destroy” and the second meaning either “to ruin” or “to make morally corrupt.” See L&N 20.40.

[20:12]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[20:12]  ²³ tn Grk “another book was opened, which is of life.”

[20:12]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the books being opened.

[20:12]  ²⁵ tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.”
