[6:13]  1 tn Or “in heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”). The genitive τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (tou ouranou) is taken as a genitive of place.

[6:13]  2 tn Grk “throws [off]”; the indicative verb has been translated as a participle due to English style.

[6:13]  3 tn L&N 3.37 states, “a fig produced late in the summer season (and often falling off before it ripens) – ‘late fig.’ ὡς συκὴ βάλλει τοὺς ὀλύνθους αὐτῆς ὑπὸ ἀνέμου μεγάλου σειομένη ‘as the fig tree sheds its late figs when shaken by a great wind’ Re 6:13. In the only context in which ὄλυνθος occurs in the NT (Re 6:13), one may employ an expression such as ‘unripe fig’ or ‘fig which ripens late.’”

[6:13]  4 tn Grk “great wind.”

[7:3]  5 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[10:5]  9 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

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

[12:13]  14 tn Grk “saw.”

[13:11]  17 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[13:11]  18 sn This second beast is identified in Rev 16:13 as “the false prophet.”

[13:11]  19 tn Grk “and it had,” a continuation of the preceding sentence. On the use of the pronoun “he” to refer to the second beast, see the note on the word “It” in 13:1.

[13:11]  20 tn Or perhaps, “like a ram.” Here L&N 4.25 states, “In the one context in the NT, namely, Re 13:11, in which ἀρνίον refers literally to a sheep, it is used in a phrase referring to the horns of an ἀρνίον. In such a context the reference is undoubtedly to a ‘ram,’ that is to say, the adult male of sheep.” In spite of this most translations render the word “lamb” here to maintain the connection between this false lamb and the true Lamb of the Book of Revelation, Jesus Christ.

[13:11]  21 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[13:13]  21 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:13]  22 tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both men and women.

[17:5]  25 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:5]  26 tn Some translations consider the word μυστήριον (musthrion, “mystery”) a part of the name written (“Mystery Babylon the Great,” so KJV, NIV), but the gender of both ὄνομα (onoma, “name”) and μυστήριον are neuter, while the gender of “Babylon” is feminine. This strongly suggests that μυστήριον should be understood as an appositive to ὄνομα (“a name, i.e., a mystery”).

[17:18]  29 tn Grk “And.” Because this remark is somewhat resumptive in nature, “as for” is used in the translation.

[18:1]  33 tn Grk “glory”; but often in the sense of splendor, brightness, or radiance (see L&N 14.49).

[18:11]  37 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[18:11]  38 tn On γόμος (gomos) BDAG 205 s.v. states, “load, freightcargo of a ship…Ac 21:3. W. gen. of the owner Rv 18:11. W. gen. of content…γ. χρυσοῦ a cargo of gold vs. 12.”

[21:24]  41 tn Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[21:24]  42 tn Or “splendor”; Grk “glory.”

[5:13]  45 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[5:13]  46 tn Grk “saying.”

[5:13]  47 tn Or “dominion.”

[6:8]  49 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the summons by the fourth creature.

[6:8]  50 tc The reading “and I looked” (καὶ εἶδον, kai eidon) or some slight variation (e.g., ἶδον, idon) has excellent ms support ({א A C P 1611}) and its omission seems to have come through the mss that have already placed “and look” (καὶ ἴδε or καὶ βλέπε [kai ide or kai blepe]) after the verb “come” (ἔρχου, ercou) in 6:1. Thus, for these copyists it was redundant to add “and I looked” again.

[6:8]  51 tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[6:8]  52 tn A sickly pallor, when referring to persons, or the green color of plants. BDAG 1085 s.v. χλωρός 2 states, “pale, greenish gray…as the color of a pers. in sickness contrasted with appearance in health…so the horse ridden by Death…ἵππος χλωρός Rv 6:8.” Because the color of the horse is symbolic, “pale green” is used in the translation. Cf. NIV, NCV “pale”; NASB “ashen.”

[6:8]  53 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:8]  54 tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:8]  55 tn Grk “And Hades was following with him.” The Greek expression μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ (met autou, “with him”) is Semitic and indicates close proximity. The translation “followed right behind” reflects this.

[6:8]  56 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:8]  57 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:8]  58 tn Grk “with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

[8:7]  53 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:7]  54 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so that” because what follows has the logical force of a result clause.

[13:14]  57 tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.
