- Revelation 20:5 sn This statement appears to be a parenthetical comment by the author.
- Revelation 20:6 tn Grk “who has a share.”
- Revelation 20:6 tn The shift from the singular pronoun (“the one”) to the plural (“them”) in the passage reflects the Greek text: The singular participle ὁ ἔχων (ho echōn) is followed by the plural pronoun τούτων (toutōn). In the interests of English style, this is obscured in most modern translations except the NASB.
- Revelation 20:7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
