Wahyu 20:13

20:13 The ¹  sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death ²  and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

Wahyu 2:23

2:23 Furthermore, I will strike her followers ³  with a deadly disease, ⁴  and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay ⁵  each one of you ⁶  what your deeds deserve. ⁷ 

Wahyu 22:12

22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,

and my reward is with me to pay ⁸  each one according to what he has done!

[20:13]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[20:13]  ² sn Here Death is personified (cf. 1 Cor 15:55).

[2:23]  ³ tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.

[2:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “I will kill with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

[2:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

[2:23]  ⁶ sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

[2:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”

[22:12]  ⁸ tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.
