Revelation 14:9
Context14:9 A 1 third angel 2 followed the first two, 3 declaring 4 in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and takes the mark on his forehead or his hand,
Revelation 14:11
Context14:11 And the smoke from their 5 torture will go up 6 forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have 7 no rest day or night, along with 8 anyone who receives the mark of his name.”
1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
2 tn Grk “And another angel, a third.”
3 tn Grk “followed them.”
4 tn For the translation of λέγω (legw) as “declare,” see BDAG 590 s.v. 2.e.
5 tn The Greek pronoun is plural here even though the verbs in the previous verse are singular.
6 tn The present tense ἀναβαίνει (anabainei) has been translated as a futuristic present (ExSyn 535-36). This is also consistent with the future passive βασανισθήσεται (basanisqhsetai) in v. 10.
7 tn The present tense ἔχουσιν (ecousin) has been translated as a futuristic present to keep the English tense consistent with the previous verb (see note on “will go up” earlier in this verse).
8 tn Grk “and.”
