¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the bowl poured on the sun.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

⁵ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

⁷ tn Grk “the first”; the referent (the first angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

¹³ tn Grk “that nothing may be lacking for them.”
