Discovery BoxRevelation 6:11 
Context6:11 Each 1 of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached 2 of both their fellow servants 3 and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.
Revelation 15:2
Context15:2 Then 4 I saw something like a sea of glass 5 mixed with fire, and those who had conquered 6 the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing 7 by 8 the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. 9
1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
2 tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).
3 tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
5 sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.
6 tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”
7 tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”
8 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.”
9 tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.
