12:11 But 1 they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives 2 so much that they were afraid to die.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast.
2 sn They did not love their lives. See Matt 16:25; Luke 17:33; John 12:25.
