Revelation 16:9

Context
16:9 Thus 1  people 2  were scorched by the terrible heat, 3  yet 4  they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority 5  over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the bowl poured on the sun.

2 tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

3 tn On this phrase BDAG 536 s.v. καῦμα states, “burning, heat Rv 7:16καυματίζεσθαι κ. μέγα be burned with a scorching heat 16:9.”

4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

5 tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
