1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
2 tn Or “The Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
4 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
5 tn Grk “who fear.”
6 tn The words “the time has come” do not occur except at the beginning of the verse; the phrase has been repeated for emphasis and contrast. The Greek has one finite verb (“has come”) with a compound subject (“your wrath,” “the time”), followed by three infinitive clauses (“to be judged,” “to give,” “to destroy”). The rhetorical power of the repetition of the finite verb in English thus emulates the rhetorical power of its lone instance in Greek.
7 tn Or “who deprave.” There is a possible wordplay here on two meanings for διαφθείρω (diafqeirw), with the first meaning “destroy” and the second meaning either “to ruin” or “to make morally corrupt.” See L&N 20.40.
8 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the resumption and conclusion of the remarks about the pouring out of the sixth bowl.
9 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the demonic spirits, v. 14) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
10 tn Grk “gathered them”; the referent (the kings and [implied] their armies, v. 14) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
11 tc There are many variations in the spelling of this name among the Greek
tn Or “Harmagedon” (a literal transliteration of the Greek), or “Har-Magedon” (NASB), meaning “the Mount of Magedon” in Hebrew.
12 tn Grk “And every.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
13 tn Or “vanished.”
14 sn Every island fled away and no mountains could be found. Major geographical and topographical changes will accompany the Day of the Lord.
15 tn The word “kings” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to clarify the referent.
