Revelation 6:11

Context
6:11 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 20:6

Context
20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who takes part 4  in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, 5  but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

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 Grk “who has a share.”

5 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.
