Revelation 7:14

7:14 So ¹  I said to him, “My lord, you know the answer.” ²  Then ³  he said to me, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation. They ⁴  have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb!

Revelation 10:9

10:9 So ⁵  I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He ⁶  said to me, “Take the scroll ⁷  and eat it. It ⁸  will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

Revelation 19:10

19:10 So ⁹  I threw myself down ¹⁰  at his feet to worship him, but ¹¹  he said, “Do not do this! ¹²  I am only ¹³  a fellow servant ¹⁴  with you and your brothers ¹⁵  who hold to the testimony about ¹⁶  Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

[7:14]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the previous question.

[7:14]  ² tn Though the expression “the answer” is not in the Greek text, it is clearly implied. Direct objects in Greek were frequently omitted when clear from the context.

[7:14]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[7:14]  ⁴ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:9]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the voice.

[10:9]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:9]  ⁷ tn The words “the scroll” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[10:9]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:10]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s announcement.

[19:10]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “I fell down at his feet.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[19:10]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[19:10]  ¹² tn On the elliptical expression ὅρα μή (Jora mh) BDAG 720 s.v. ὁράω B.2 states: “Elliptically…ὅρα μή (sc. ποιήσῃς) watch out! don’t do that! Rv 19:10; 22:9.”

[19:10]  ¹³ tn The lowliness of a slave is emphasized in the Greek text with the emphatic position of σύνδουλος (sundoulo"). The use of “only” helps to bring this nuance out in English.

[19:10]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “fellow slave.” See the note on the word “servants” in v. 2.

[19:10]  ¹⁵ tn The Greek term “brother” literally refers to family relationships, but here it is used in a broader sense to connote familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).

[19:10]  ¹⁶ tn The genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) has been translated as an objective genitive here. A subjective genitive, also possible, would produce the meaning “who hold to what Jesus testifies.”
