Revelation 9:4

9:4 They ¹  were told ²  not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those people ³  who did not have the seal of God on their ⁴  forehead.

Revelation 9:19

9:19 For the power ⁵  of the horses resides ⁶  in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails are like snakes, having heads that inflict injuries.

Revelation 15:1

The Final Plagues

15:1 Then ⁷  I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues ⁸  (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed).

[9:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:4]  ² tn The dative indirect object (αὐταῖς, autais) was converted into the subject (“they”) as this more closely approximates English usage. The following ἵ῞να (Jina) is taken as substantival, introducing a direct object clause. In this case, because it is reported speech, the ἵνα is similar to the declarative ὅτι (Joti).

[9:4]  ³ tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.

[9:4]  ⁴ tn The article τῶν (twn) has been translated as a possessive pronoun here (ExSyn 215).

[9:19]  ⁵ tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”

[9:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “is.”

[15:1]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[15:1]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “seven plagues – the last ones.”
