Revelation 21:25–26

Footnotes

1. 61 On the translation “during the day” see ἡμέρα 1.a, “But also, as in Thu. et al., of time within which someth. occurs, ἡμέρας during the day Rv 21:25.”
2. 62 The Greek connective γάρ (gar) most often expresses some sort of causal connection. However, in this context there is no causal force to the second phrase; γάρ simply expresses continuation or connection. Because of this it has been translated as “and.” See 2.
3. 63 The clause has virtually the force of a parenthetical comment.
4. 64 Grk “honor,” but τιμή 2.b states, “An outstanding feature of the use of τ., as already shown in several passages, is its combination w. δόξα … of earthly possessions τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῶν ἐθνῶν Rv 21:26 (τιμή concr.=an object of value: Ezk 22:25).”
5. 65 Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
