NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”). 2 tc ‡ Several 3 tn See the notes on the words “passion” in Rev 14:8 and “wrath” in 16:19. 4 tn According to BDAG 949 s.v. στρῆνος and στρηνιάω, these terms can refer either to luxury or sensuality. In the context of Rev 18, however (as L&N 88.254 indicate) the stress is on gratification of the senses by sexual immorality, so that meaning was emphasized in the translation here. |
