¹ tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.

² tn Grk “I will kill with 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).

³ tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

⁴ sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

⁵ tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”

⁶ tn Here BDAG 988 s.v. ταλαντιαῖος states, “weighing a talent…χάλαζα μεγάλη ὡς ταλαντιαία a severe hailstorm with hailstones weighing a talent (the talent=125 librae, or Roman pounds of c. 343 gr. or 12 ounces each) (weighing about a hundred pounds NRSV) Rv 16:21.” This means each hailstone would weigh just under 100 pounds or 40 kilograms.

⁷ tn Or “the sky.” Due to the apocalyptic nature of this book, it is probably best to leave the translation as “from heaven,” since God is ultimately the source of the judgment.

⁸ tn Grk “on men,” but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in a generic sense to refer to people in general (the hailstones did not single out adult males, but would have also fallen on women and children).

⁹ tn Grk “the men”; for stylistic reasons the pronoun “they” is used here.

¹⁰ tn Grk “the plague of it.”

¹¹ tn Grk “since the plague of it was exceedingly great.”

¹² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹³ sn Here Death is personified (cf. 1 Cor 15:55).

¹⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹⁵ tn The Greek word πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to a major (broad) street (L&N 1.103).
