Revelation 2:23

Context
2:23 Furthermore, I will strike her followers 1  with a deadly disease, 2  and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay 3  each one of you 4  what your deeds deserve. 5 

1 tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.

2 tn Grk “I will kill with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

3 tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

4 sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

5 tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”
