Revelation 16:11

Context
16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferings 1  and because of their sores, 2  but nevertheless 3  they still refused to repent 4  of their deeds.

1 tn Grk “pains” (the same term in Greek [πόνος, ponos] as the last word in v. 11, here translated “sufferings” because it is plural). BDAG 852 s.v. 2 states, “ἐκ τοῦ π. in painRv 16:10; pl. (Gen 41:51; Jos., C. Ap. 2, 146; Test. Jud. 18:4) ἐκ τῶν π. …because of their sufferings vs. 11.”

2 tn Or “ulcerated sores” (see 16:2).

3 tn Grk “and they did not repent.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but nevertheless” to express the contrast here.

4 tn Grk “they did not repent” The addition of “still refused” reflects the hardness of people’s hearts in the context.
