Revelation 21:25

Its gates will never be closed during the day ¹  (and ²  there will be no night there). ³ 

Isa 60:11; Isa 60:20; Zec 14:7; Re 22:5

¹ tn On the translation “during the day” see BDAG 436 s.v. ἡμέρα 1.a, “But also, as in Thu. et al., of time within which someth. occurs, ἡμέρας during the day Rv 21:25.”

² tn The Greek connective γάρ (gar) most often expresses some sort of causal connection. However, in this context there is no causal force to the second phrase; γάρ simply expresses continuation or connection. Because of this it has been translated as “and.” See BDAG 189-90 s.v. 2.

³ tn The clause has virtually the force of a parenthetical comment.
