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).

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

tn A new sentence was started in the translation at this point and καί (kai) was not translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

tn Or “in righteousness,” but since the context here involves the punishment of the wicked and the vindication of the saints, “justice” was preferred.
