Wahyu 6:10-11

6:10 They ¹  cried out with a loud voice, ²  “How long, ³  Sovereign Master, ⁴  holy and true, before you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” 6:11 Each ⁵  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ⁶  of both their fellow servants ⁷  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Wahyu 20:4-5

20:4 Then ⁸  I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. ⁹  I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These ¹⁰  had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They ¹¹  came to life ¹²  and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.) ¹³  This is the first resurrection.

Wahyu 20:12

20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then ¹⁴  books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. ¹⁵  So ¹⁶  the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds. ¹⁷ 

Wahyu 20:15

20:15 If ¹⁸  anyone’s name ¹⁹  was not found written in the book of life, that person ²⁰  was thrown into the lake of fire.

[6:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:10]  ² tn Grk “voice, saying”; the participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[6:10]  ³ tn The expression ἕως πότε (ews pote) was translated “how long.” Cf. BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 1.b.γ.

[6:10]  ⁴ tn The Greek term here is δεσπότης (despoths; see L&N 37.63).

[6:11]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

[6:11]  ⁷ tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[20:4]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[20:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “I saw thrones, and those seated on them, and judgment was given to them.” BDAG 567 s.v. κρίμα 3 says, “judging, judgment, the κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς authority to judge was given to them Rv 20:4.”

[20:4]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “God, and who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “these” as subject.

[20:4]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[20:4]  ¹² tn On the use of the aorist ἔζησαν (ezhsan) BDAG 425 s.v. ζάω 1.a.β says, “of dead persons who return to life become alive again: of humans in general (3 Km 17:23) Mt 9:18; Ac 9:41; 20:12; Rv 20:4, 5.”

[20:5]  ¹³ sn This statement appears to be a parenthetical comment by the author.
