and my reward is with me to pay ³  each one according to what he has done!

Wahyu 19:2

and has avenged the blood of his servants ¹⁰  poured out by her own hands!” ¹¹ 

Wahyu 2:23

18:20 (Rejoice over her, O heaven,

and you saints and apostles and prophets,

for God has pronounced judgment ¹⁹  against her on your behalf!) ²⁰ 

Wahyu 11:18

11:18 The ²¹  nations ²²  were enraged,

but ²³  your wrath has come,

and the time has come for the dead to be judged,

and the time has come to give to your servants, ²⁴ 

the prophets, their reward,

as well as to the saints

and to those who revere ²⁵  your name, both small and great,

and the time has come ²⁶  to destroy those who destroy ²⁷  the earth.”

[18:6]  ¹ tn The word “others” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[18:6]  ² tn On this term BDAG 252 s.v. διπλόω states, “to double τὰ διπλᾶ pay back double Rv 18:6.”

[22:12]  ³ 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.

[6:10]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “voice, saying”; the participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

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

[6:10]  ⁷ tn The Greek term here is δεσπότης (despoths; see L&N 37.63).

[19:2]  ⁸ tn Compare the similar phrase in Rev 16:7.

[19:2]  ⁹ tn Or “has punished.” See BDAG 568 s.v. κρίνω 5.b.α, describing the OT background which involves both the vindication of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty.

[19:2]  ¹⁰ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[19:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “from her hand” (referring to her responsibility in causing the blood of God’s followers to be shed).

[2:23]  ¹² tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.

[2:23]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”

[2:23]  ¹⁵ sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.

[2:23]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”

[16:6]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that this judgment is the result of what these wicked people did to the saints and prophets.

[16:6]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “They are worthy”; i.e., of this kind of punishment. By extension, “they got what they deserve.”

[18:20]  ¹⁹ tn On the phrase “pronounced judgment” BDAG 567 s.v. κρίμα 4.b states, “The OT is the source of the expr. κρίνειν τὸ κρ. (cp. Zech 7:9; 8:16; Ezk 44:24) ἔκρινεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ κρίμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς God has pronounced judgment for you against her or God has pronounced on her the judgment she wished to impose on you (HHoltzmann, Hdb. 1893 ad loc.) Rv 18:20.”

[18:20]  ²⁰ tn Grk “God has judged a judgment of you of her.” Verse 20 is set in parentheses because in it the saints, etc. are addressed directly in the second person.

[18:20]  sn This verse forms a parenthetical aside in the narrative.

[11:18]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:18]  ²² tn Or “The Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:18]  ²³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:18]  ²⁴ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[11:18]  ²⁵ tn Grk “who fear.”

[11:18]  ²⁶ tn The words “the time has come” do not occur except at the beginning of the verse; the phrase has been repeated for emphasis and contrast. The Greek has one finite verb (“has come”) with a compound subject (“your wrath,” “the time”), followed by three infinitive clauses (“to be judged,” “to give,” “to destroy”). The rhetorical power of the repetition of the finite verb in English thus emulates the rhetorical power of its lone instance in Greek.

[11:18]  ²⁷ tn Or “who deprave.” There is a possible wordplay here on two meanings for διαφθείρω (diafqeirw), with the first meaning “destroy” and the second meaning either “to ruin” or “to make morally corrupt.” See L&N 20.40.
