1 tn Grk “pains” (the same term in Greek [πόνος, ponos] as the last word in v. 11, here translated “sufferings” because it is plural). BDAG 852 s.v. 2 states, “ἐκ τοῦ π. in pain…Rv 16:10; pl. (Gen 41:51; Jos., C. Ap. 2, 146; Test. Jud. 18:4) ἐκ τῶν π. …because of their sufferings vs. 11.” 2 tn Or “ulcerated sores” (see 16:2). 3 tn Grk “and they did not repent.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but nevertheless” to express the contrast here. 4 tn Grk “they did not repent” The addition of “still refused” reflects the hardness of people’s hearts in the context. |
