Discovery Box| (1.00) | (Rev 21:5) | 2 tn The words “it down” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 20:15) | 2 tn The word “name” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 21:3) | 2 tn Or “people”; Grk “men” (ἀνθρώπων, anthrōpōn), a generic use of the term. In the translation “human beings” was used here because “people” occurs later in the verse and translates a different Greek word (λαοί, laoi). |
| (1.00) | (Rev 21:3) | 4 tc ‡ Most mss (א MK) do not add the words “[as] their God” (αὐτῶν θεός, autōn theos) after “he will be with them.” The mss with these words include A 2030 2050 2329 al. The Andreas group (MA) also has the words, but in a different arrangement with the preceding (ἔσται μετ᾿ αὐτῶν θεὸς αὐτῶν, estai met’ autōn theos autōn). Not only do the words float, but scribes may have been motivated to make a connection here more directly with Isa 7:14; 8:8; Jer 24:7; 31:33; Zech 8:8. In light of sufficient external evidence as well as the possibility that the longer reading is theologically motivated, the shorter reading is preferred. NA28 places the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 20:12) | 4 tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.” |
| (1.00) | (Rev 20:11) | 3 tn Or “and the sky.” The same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky,” and context usually determines which is meant. In this apocalyptic scene, however, it is difficult to be sure what referent to assign the term. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 20:9) | 5 tn On the term παρεμβολή (parembolē) BDAG 775 s.v. states, “Mostly used as a military t.t.…so always in our lit.…1. a (fortified) camp…ἡ παρεμβολὴ τῶν ἁγίων Rv 20:9 is also to be understood fr. the OT use of the word.” |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:18) | 4 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:17) | 4 tn This is the same Greek word (δεῖπνον, deipnon) used in 19:9. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:15) | 7 tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…(ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π.…Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.” |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:15) | 1 tn Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”). |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:10) | 6 tn Grk “fellow slave.” See the note on the word “servants” in v. 2. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:6) | 4 tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…(ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π.…Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22…κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ὁ π. Rv 19:6.” |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:6) | 2 tn Grk “like the voice of a large crowd…saying.” Because of the complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.” |
| (1.00) | (Rev 19:2) | 3 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 18:23) | 2 tn On the term φαρμακεία (pharmakeia, “magic spells”) see L&N 53.100: “the use of magic, often involving drugs and the casting of spells upon people—‘to practice magic, to cast spells upon, to engage in sorcery, magic, sorcery.’ φαρμακεία: ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ‘with your magic spells you deceived all the peoples (of the world)’ Re 18:23.” |
| (1.00) | (Rev 18:23) | 1 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”). |
| (1.00) | (Rev 18:22) | 4 tn This is a different Greek word (μύλος, mulos) from the one for the millstone in v. 21 (μύλινος, mulinos). See L&N 7.68. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 18:21) | 3 sn Thrown down is a play on both the words and the action. The angel’s action with the stone illustrates the kind of sudden violent force with which the city will be overthrown. |
| (1.00) | (Rev 18:15) | 2 tn Grk “her torment, weeping.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation by supplying the words “They will” here. |
