Revelation 2:8

Context
To the Church in Smyrna

2:8 “To 1  the angel of the church in Smyrna write the following: 2 

“This is the solemn pronouncement of 3  the one who is the first and the last, the one who was dead, but 4  came to life:

1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated due to differences between Greek and English style.

2 tn The phrase “the following” after “write” is supplied to clarify that what follows is the content of what is to be written.

3 tn Grk “These things says [the One]…” See the note on the phrase “this is the solemn pronouncement of” in 2:1.

sn The expression This is the solemn pronouncement of reflects an OT idiom. See the note on this phrase in 2:1.

4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present between these two phrases.
