[8:8]  1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[8:8]  2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:8]  3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:8]  4 tn Grk “the fourth”; the referent (the fourth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:8]  5 tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[14:10]  5 tn Grk “he himself.”

[14:10]  6 tn The Greek word for “anger” here is θυμός (qumos), a wordplay on the “passion” (θυμός) of the personified city of Babylon in 14:8.

[14:10]  7 tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

[17:16]  7 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:16]  8 tn A new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:16]  9 tn The final clause could also be turned into an adverbial clause of means: “They will consume her flesh by burning her with fire.”

[18:8]  9 tn Grk “For this reason, her plagues will come.”

[18:8]  10 tn Grk “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).

[18:8]  11 tn This is the same Greek word (πένθος, penqo") translated “grief” in vv. 7-8.

[18:8]  12 tn Here “burned down” was used to translate κατακαυθήσεται (katakauqhsetai) because a city is in view.

[15:2]  11 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[15:2]  12 sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.

[15:2]  13 tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”

[15:2]  14 tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”

[15:2]  15 tn Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See BDAG 363 s.v. ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.

[15:2]  16 tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.

[21:8]  13 tn On the term φαρμακεία (farmakeia, “magic spells”) see L&N 53.100: “the use of magic, often involving drugs and the casting of spells upon people – ‘to practice magic, to cast spells upon, to engage in sorcery, magic, sorcery.’ φαρμακεία: ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ‘with your magic spells you deceived all the peoples (of the world)’ Re 18:23.”

[21:8]  14 tn Grk “idolaters.”

[21:8]  15 tn Grk “their share.”

[21:8]  16 tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

[21:8]  17 tn Grk “sulfur, which is.” The relative pronoun has been translated as “that” to indicate its connection to the previous clause. The nearest logical antecedent is “the lake [that burns with fire and sulfur],” although “lake” (λίμνη, limnh) is feminine gender, while the pronoun “which” (, Jo) is neuter gender. This means that (1) the proper antecedent could be “their place” (Grk “their share,”) agreeing with the relative pronoun in number and gender, or (2) the neuter pronoun still has as its antecedent the feminine noun “lake,” since agreement in gender between pronoun and antecedent was not always maintained, with an explanatory phrase occurring with a neuter pronoun regardless of the case of the antecedent. In favor of the latter explanation is Rev 20:14, where the phrase “the lake of fire” is in apposition to the phrase “the second death.”
