Discovery BoxRevelation 3:12 
Context3:12 The one who conquers 1 I will make 2 a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I 3 will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), 4 and my new name as well.
Revelation 15:2
Context15:2 Then 5 I saw something like a sea of glass 6 mixed with fire, and those who had conquered 7 the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing 8 by 9 the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. 10
1 tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
2 tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.
3 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
4 sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.
5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
6 sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.
7 tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”
8 tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”
9 tn Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See BDAG 363 s.v. ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.”
10 tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.
