Wahyu 18:14

has gone from you,

and all your luxury ⁵  and splendor ⁶ 

have gone from you –

they will never ever be found again!) ⁷ 

Wahyu 22:18

22:18 I testify to the one who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described ⁸  in this book.

[10:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[10:4]  ² tn The words “just then” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[18:14]  ³ tn On ὀπώρα (opwra) L&N 3.34 states, “ἡ ὀπώρα σου τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς ‘the ripe fruit for which you longed’ Re 18:14. In this one occurrence of ὀπώρα in the NT, ‘ripe fruit’ is to be understood in a figurative sense of ‘good things.’”

[18:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “you desired in your soul.”

[18:14]  ⁵ tn On λιπαρός (liparo") BDAG 597 s.v. states, “luxury Rv 18:14.”

[18:14]  ⁶ tn On τὰ λαμπρά (ta lampra) BDAG 585 s.v. λαμπρός 4 states, “splendor…in which a rich man takes delight (cp. Jos., Ant. 12, 220 δωρεὰς δοὺς λαμπράς) Rv 18:14.”

[18:14]  ⁷ tn Verse 14 is set in parentheses because in it the city, Babylon, is addressed directly in second person.

[18:14]  sn This verse forms a parenthetical aside in the narrative.

[22:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “written.”
