10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying:

“The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God
    and the ·authority [power] of his ·Christ [Messiah; Anointed One] have now come [Dan. 7:14].

[L For] The accuser [C the name Satan means “Accuser” in Hebrew; Job 1:6–12; 2:1–6; Zech. 3:1–2] of our brothers and sisters,

    who accused them day and night before our God,
    has been ·thrown [cast; hurled] down.
11 And our brothers and sisters ·defeated [conquered] him
    by the blood of the ·Lamb’s death [L Lamb; C by means of Christ’s sacrificial death]
    and by the ·message they preached [L word of their witness/testimony].
[L And] They did not love their lives so much
    that they ·were afraid of [avoided] death.
12 So rejoice, you heavens
    and all who live there!
But ·it will be terrible for [L woe to] the earth and the sea,
    because the devil has come down to you!
He is filled with ·anger [wrath],
    because he knows he ·does not have much time [L has little time].”

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(A) say:

“Now have come the salvation(B) and the power
    and the kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(C)
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
    has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(D) him
    by the blood of the Lamb(E)
    and by the word of their testimony;(F)
they did not love their lives so much
    as to shrink from death.(G)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(H)
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe(I) to the earth and the sea,(J)
    because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
    because he knows that his time is short.”
