Revelation 12:2

She ¹  was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, struggling ²  to give birth.

Isa 53:11; Isa 54:1; Isa 66:7,8; Mic 5:3; Joh 16:21; Ga 4:19,27; Re 12:4

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “and being tortured,” though βασανίζω (basanizw) in this context refers to birth pangs. BDAG 168 s.v. 2.b states, “Of birth-pangs (Anth. Pal. 9, 311 βάσανος has this mng.) Rv 12:2.” The καί (kai) has not been translated.
