Revelation 9:6

9:6 In ¹  those days people ²  will seek death, but ³  will not be able to ⁴  find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.

Revelation 10:7

10:7 But in the days ⁵  when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed, ⁶  just as he has ⁷  proclaimed to his servants ⁸  the prophets.”

Revelation 2:13

2:13 ‘I know ⁹  where you live – where Satan’s throne is. Yet ¹⁰  you continue to cling ¹¹  to my name and you have not denied your ¹²  faith in me, ¹³  even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, ¹⁴  who was killed in your city ¹⁵  where Satan lives.

[9:6]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:6]  ² tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.

[9:6]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[9:6]  ⁴ tn The phrase “not be able to” was used in the translation to emphasize the strong negation (οὐ μή, ou mh) in the Greek text.

[10:7]  ⁵ tn Grk “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel.”

[10:7]  ⁶ tn The aorist ἐτελέσθη (etelesqh) has been translated as a proleptic (futuristic) aorist (ExSyn 564 cites this verse as an example).

[10:7]  ⁷ tn The time of the action described by the aorist εὐηγγέλισεν (euhngelisen) seems to be past with respect to the aorist passive ἐτελέσθη (etelesqh). This does not require that the prophets in view here be OT prophets. They may actually refer to the martyrs in the church (so G. B. Caird, Revelation [HNTC], 129).

[10:7]  ⁸ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[2:13]  ⁹ tc The shorter reading adopted here has superior ms support (א A C P 2053 al latt co), while the inclusion of “your works and” (τὰ ἔργα σου καί, ta erga sou kai) before “where you reside” is supported by the Byzantine witnesses and is evidently a secondary attempt to harmonize the passage with 2:2, 19; 3:1, 8, 15.

[2:13]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Yet” to indicate the contrast between their location and their faithful behavior.

[2:13]  ¹¹ tn The present indicative verb κρατεῖς (kratei") has been translated as a progressive present.

[2:13]  ¹² tn Grk “the faith”; here the Greek article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[2:13]  ¹³ tn Grk “the faith of me” (τὴν πίστιν μου, thn pistin mou) with the genitive “of me” (μου) functioning objectively.

[2:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “martyr.” The Greek word μάρτυς can mean either “witness” or “martyr.”

[2:13]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “killed among you.” The term “city” does not occur in the Greek text of course, but the expression παρ᾿ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ (par’ Jumin, {opou Jo satana" katoikei) seems to indicate that this is what is meant. See G. B. Caird, Revelation (HNTC), 36-38.
