[8:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:4]  ² tn The expression τῶν θυμιαμάτων (twn qumiamatwn) is taken as a “genitive of producer,” i.e., the noun in the genitive produces the head noun.

[14:12]  ³ tn Grk “Here is.”

[14:12]  ⁴ tn Or “the perseverance.”

[14:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “who keep.”

[14:12]  ⁶ tn The words “hold to” are implied as a repetition of the participle translated “keep” (οἱ τηροῦντες, Joi throunte").

[14:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “faith of Jesus.” The construction may mean either “faith in Jesus” or “faithful to Jesus.” Either translation implies that ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) is to be taken as an objective genitive; the difference is more lexical than grammatical because πίστις (pistis) can mean either “faith” or “faithfulness.”

[16:6]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that this judgment is the result of what these wicked people did to the saints and prophets.

[16:6]  ⁶ tn Grk “They are worthy”; i.e., of this kind of punishment. By extension, “they got what they deserve.”

[18:24]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:24]  ⁸ tn The shift in pronouns from second to third person corresponds to the Greek text.

[18:24]  ⁹ tn Grk “and of all.” The phrase “along with the blood” has been repeated from the previous clause for stylistic reasons.

[19:8]  ⁹ tn On the term translated “fine linen,” BDAG 185 s.v. βύσσινος states, “made of fine linen, subst. τὸ β. fine linen, linen garment…Rv 18:12…16; 19:8, 14.”

[19:8]  ¹⁰ sn This phrase is treated as a parenthetical explanation by the author.
