[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.

[4:8]  ¹¹ tn Grk “six wings apiece,” but this is redundant with “each one” in English.

[4:8]  ¹² tn Some translations render ἔσωθεν (eswqen) as “under [its] wings,” but the description could also mean “filled all around on the outside and on the inside with eyes.” Since the referent is not available to the interpreter, the exact force is difficult to determine.

[4:8]  ¹³ tn Or “They never stop saying day and night.”

[4:8]  ¹⁴ tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…(ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π. …Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”
