[2:3]  ¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of this Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the phrase “I am also aware” to link this English sentence back to “I know” at the beginning of v. 2.

[2:3]  ² tn The Greek word translated “persisted steadfastly” (ὑπομονή, Jupomonh) is the same one translated “steadfast endurance” in v. 2.

[2:7]  ³ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.” The pendent dative is allowed to stand in the English translation because it is characteristic of the author’s style in Revelation.

[2:7]  ⁴ tn Or “grant.”

[2:7]  ⁵ tn Or “stands.”

[2:7]  ⁶ tc The omission of “my” (μου, mou) after “God” (θεοῦ, qeou) is well attested, supported by א A C and the Andreas of Caesarea group of Byzantine mss (Ï^A). Its addition in 1611, the Ï^K group, latt, and others, seems to be evidence of a purposeful conforming of the text to 3:2 and the four occurrences of “my God” (θεοῦ μου) in 3:12.

[2:11]  ⁷ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[2:17]  ⁸ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.” The pendent dative is allowed to stand in the English translation because it is characteristic of the author’s style in Revelation.

[2:17]  ⁹ tn Or “bright.” The Greek term λευκός (leukos) can refer either to the color white (traditional here) or to an object that is bright or shining, either from itself or from an outside source of illumination (L&N 14.50; 79.27).

[2:17]  ¹⁰ tn On the interpretation of the stone, L&N 2.27 states, “A number of different suggestions have been made as to the reference of ψῆφος in this context. Some scholars believe that the white ψῆφος indicates a vote of acquittal in court. Others contend that it is simply a magical amulet; still others, a token of Roman hospitality; and finally, some have suggested that it may represent a ticket to the gladiatorial games, that is to say, to martyrdom. The context, however, suggests clearly that this is something to be prized and a type of reward for those who have ‘won the victory.’”

[2:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “know”; for the meaning “understand” see L&N 32.4.

[2:26]  ¹² tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[2:26]  ¹³ tn Grk “keeps.” In a context that speaks of “holding on to what you have,” the idea here is one of continued faithful behavior (BDAG 1002 s.v. τηρέω 3 has “ὁ τηρῶν τὰ ἔργα μου the one who takes my deeds to heart Rv 2:26”).

[2:26]  ¹⁴ tn Or “over the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[3:5]  ¹⁵ tn Or “who overcomes.”

[3:5]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “thus.”

[3:5]  ¹⁷ tn Or “white robes.”

[3:5]  ¹⁸ tn The negation here is with οὐ μή (ou mh), the strongest possible form of negation in Koine Greek.

[3:5]  ¹⁹ tn Or “will never wipe out.”

[3:5]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[3:5]  ²¹ tn Grk “will confess.”

[3:12]  ²² tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:12]  ²³ tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[3:12]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[3:12]  ²⁵ sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.

[3:21]  ²⁶ tn Grk “The one who conquers, to him I will grant.”

[3:21]  ²⁷ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:21]  ²⁸ tn Grk “I will give [grant] to him.”

[3:21]  ²⁹ tn Or “have been victorious”; traditionally, “have overcome.”

[21:7]  ³⁰ tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
