Wahyu 1:15

1:15 His feet were like polished bronze ¹  refined ²  in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar ³  of many waters.

Wahyu 12:13

12:13 Now ⁴  when the dragon realized ⁵  that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

Wahyu 12:16

12:16 but ⁶  the earth came to her rescue; ⁷  the ground opened up ⁸  and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.

Wahyu 14:12

14:12 This requires ⁹  the steadfast endurance ¹⁰  of the saints – those who obey ¹¹  God’s commandments and hold to ¹²  their faith in Jesus. ¹³ 

[1:15]  ¹ tn The precise meaning of the term translated “polished bronze” (χαλκολιβάνῳ, calkolibanw), which appears nowhere else in Greek literature outside of the book of Revelation (see 2:18), is uncertain. Without question it is some sort of metal. BDAG 1076 s.v. χαλκολίβανον suggests “fine brass/bronze.” L&N 2.57 takes the word to refer to particularly valuable or fine bronze, but notes that the emphasis here and in Rev 2:18 is more on the lustrous quality of the metal.

[1:15]  ² tn Or “that has been heated in a furnace until it glows.”

[1:15]  ³ tn Grk “sound,” but the idea is closer to the roar of a waterfall or rapids.

[12:13]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.

[12:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “saw.”

[12:16]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “the earth helped the woman.”

[12:16]  ⁸ tn Grk “the earth opened its mouth” (a metaphor for the ground splitting open).

[14:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “Here is.”

[14:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the perseverance.”

[14:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk “who keep.”

[14:12]  ¹² tn The words “hold to” are implied as a repetition of the participle translated “keep” (οἱ τηροῦντες, Joi throunte").

[14:12]  ¹³ tn Grk “faith of Jesus.” The construction may mean either “faith in Jesus” or “faithful to Jesus.” Either translation implies that ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) is to be taken as an objective genitive; the difference is more lexical than grammatical because πίστις (pistis) can mean either “faith” or “faithfulness.”
