1 tn Grk “The one who conquers, to him I will grant.”

2 tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

3 tn Grk “I will give [grant] to him.”

4 tn Or “have been victorious”; traditionally, “have overcome.”

5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

6 tn The words “just then” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

7 tn Grk “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel.”

8 tn The aorist ἐτελέσθη (etelesqh) has been translated as a proleptic (futuristic) aorist (ExSyn 564 cites this verse as an example).

9 tn The time of the action described by the aorist εὐηγγέλισεν (euhngelisen) seems to be past with respect to the aorist passive ἐτελέσθη (etelesqh). This does not require that the prophets in view here be OT prophets. They may actually refer to the martyrs in the church (so G. B. Caird, Revelation [HNTC], 129).

10 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

11 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

12 tn Grk “seven thousand names of men.”

13 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

14 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

15 tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

16 tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…() κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π. …Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”

17 tn Or “righteous,” although the context favors justice as the theme.

18 tc Certain mss (Ì47 א*,2 C 1006 1611 1841 pc) read “ages” (αἰώνων, aiwnwn) instead of “nations” (ἐθνῶν, eqnwn), which itself is supported by several mss (א1 A 051 Ï). The ms evidence seems to be fairly balanced, though αἰώνων has somewhat better support. The replacement of “ages” with “nations” is possibly a scribal attempt to harmonize this verse with the use of “nations” in the following verse. On the other hand, the idea of “nations” fits well with v. 4 and it may be that “ages” is a scribal attempt to assimilate this text to 1 Tim 1:17: “the king of the ages” (βασιλεὺς τῶν αἰώνων, basileu" twn aiwnwn). The decision is a difficult one since both scenarios deal well with the evidence, though the verbal parallel with 1 Tim 1:17 is exact while the parallel with v. 4 is not. The term “king” occurs 17 other times (most occurrences refer to earthly kings) in Revelation and it is not used with either “ages” or “nations” apart from this verse. Probably the reading “nations” should be considered original due to the influence of 1 Tim 1:17.

19 tn Compare the similar phrase in Rev 16:7.

20 tn Or “has punished.” See BDAG 568 s.v. κρίνω 5.b.α, describing the OT background which involves both the vindication of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty.

21 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

22 tn Grk “from her hand” (referring to her responsibility in causing the blood of God’s followers to be shed).

23 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

24 tn The Greek word πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to a major (broad) street (L&N 1.103).
