Revelation 20:1

Then ¹  I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding ²  in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

Then I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand.

I saw an Angel descending out of Heaven. He carried the key to the Abyss and a chain--a huge chain.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the great deep and a great chain in his hand.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Then ¹  I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding ²  in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

² tn The word “holding” is implied. The two clauses “having the key of the abyss” and “a huge chain in his hand” can be construed in two ways: (1) both are controlled by the participle ἔχοντα (econta) and both are modified by the phrase “in his hand” – “having in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.” (2) The participle ἔχοντα refers only to the key, and the phrase “in his hand” refers only to the chain – “having the key of the abyss and holding a huge chain in his hand.” Because of the stylistic tendency in Rev to use the verb ἔχω (ecw) to mean “hold (something)” and the phrase “in his hand” forming a “bracket” along with the verb ἔχω around both the phrases in question, the first option is preferred.
