Footnotes

  1. Revelation 14:12 tn Grk “Here is.”
  2. Revelation 14:12 tn Or “the perseverance.”
  3. Revelation 14:12 tn Grk “who keep.”
  4. Revelation 14:12 tn The words “hold to” are implied as a repetition of the participle translated “keep” (οἱ τηροῦντες, hoi tērountes).
  5. Revelation 14:12 tn Grk “faith of Jesus.” The construction may mean either “faith in Jesus” or “faithful to Jesus.” Either translation implies that ᾿Ιησοῦ (Iēsou) is to be taken as an objective genitive; the difference is more lexical than grammatical because πίστις (pistis) can mean either “faith” or “faithfulness.”
