[62:12]  ¹ tn Or “the redeemed of the Lord” (KJV, NAB).

[15:13]  ² tn The verbs in the next two verses are perfect tenses, but can be interpreted as a prophetic perfect, looking to the future.

[15:13]  ³ tn The particle זוּ (zu) is a relative pronoun, subordinating the next verb to the preceding.

[15:13]  ⁴ tn This verb seems to mean “to guide to a watering-place” (See Ps 23:2).

[107:2]  ⁵ tn Or “let the redeemed of the Lord say [so].”

[107:2]  ⁶ tn Or “redeemed.”

[107:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “hand.”

[3:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “having become”; the participle γενόμενος (genomenos) has been taken instrumentally.

[3:13]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Deut 21:23. By figurative extension the Greek word translated tree (ζύλον, zulon) can also be used to refer to a cross (L&N 6.28), the Roman instrument of execution.

[2:14]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “who” (as a continuation of the previous clause).

[2:14]  ¹¹ tn Or “a people who are his very own.”

[2:14]  ¹² tn Grk “for good works.”

[2:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

[1:18]  ¹⁴ tn This term does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[1:18]  ¹⁵ tn This term does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[1:18]  ¹⁶ tn This term does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[1:18]  ¹⁷ tn This term does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[5:9]  ¹⁸ tn The redundant participle λέγοντες (legontes) has not been translated here.

[5:9]  ¹⁹ tn Or “slaughtered”; traditionally, “slain.”

[5:9]  ²⁰ tn The preposition ἐν (en) is taken to indicate price here, like the Hebrew preposition ב (bet) does at times. BDAG 329 s.v. ἐν 5.b states, “The ἐν which takes the place of the gen. of price is also instrumental ἠγόρασας ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου Rv 5:9 (cp. 1 Ch 21:24 ἀγοράζω ἐν ἀργυρίῳ).”

[5:9]  ²¹ tc The Greek text as it stands above (i.e., the reading τῷ θεῷ [tw qew] alone) is found in codex A. א 2050 2344 Ï sy add the term “us” (ἡμᾶς, Jhmas), either before or after τῷ θεῷ, as an attempt to clarify the object of “purchased” (ἠγόρασας, hgorasa"). A few mss (1 vg^ms) delete the reference to God altogether and simply replace it with “us” (ἡμᾶς). This too is an attempt to remove ambiguity in the phrase and provide an object for “purchased.” The shorter reading, supported by the best witness for Revelation, best accounts for the other readings.

[5:9]  ²² tn The word “persons” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[5:9]  ²³ tn Grk “and language,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
