Revelation 20:12-13
Context20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then 3 books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. 4 So 5 the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds. 6 20:13 The 7 sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death 8 and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.
1 tn Grk “who has a share.”
2 tn The shift from the singular pronoun (“the one”) to the plural (“them”) in the passage reflects the Greek text: The singular participle ὁ ἔχων (Jo ecwn) is followed by the plural pronoun τούτων (toutwn). In the interests of English style, this is obscured in most modern translations except the NASB.
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
4 tn Grk “another book was opened, which is of life.”
5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the books being opened.
6 tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.”
7 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
8 sn Here Death is personified (cf. 1 Cor 15:55).
