Revelation 18:6

Context
18:6 Repay her the same way she repaid others; 1  pay her back double 2  corresponding to her deeds. In the cup she mixed, mix double the amount for her.

Revelation 22:12

Context

22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,

and my reward is with me to pay 3  each one according to what he has done!

1 tn The word “others” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

2 tn On this term BDAG 252 s.v. διπλόω states, “to double τὰ διπλᾶ pay back double Rv 18:6.”

3 tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.
