Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ὁ νικῶν καὶ ὁ τηρῶν
the_‹one› overcoming and ¬which keeping
Here Jesus is expressing a single idea by using two phrases connected with and. The phrase the one keeping tells how the one conquering is able to conquer. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [the one conquering by keeping]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ νικῶν καὶ ὁ τηρῶν
the_‹one› overcoming and ¬which keeping
Jesus is not referring to a specific person who is conquering in this way. He means any person who conquers in this way. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [anyone conquering by keeping]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὁ τηρῶν & τὰ ἔργα μου
the_‹one› ¬which keeping & the works ˱of˲_me
See the discussion in the General Introduction to Revelation of the word “keep.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning of this expression plainly. Alternate translation: [the one obediently doing what I command]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ὁ τηρῶν & τὰ ἔργα μου
the_‹one› ¬which keeping & the works ˱of˲_me
The possessive form my works describes not what Jesus does but what Jesus commands believers to do. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the one doing the works that I command]
2:18-29 The letter to the church in Thyatira confronts Christians who mix Christianity with pagan practices and a worldly lifestyle.
OET (OET-LV) And the one overcoming and which keeping until the_end the works of_me:
I_will_be_giving to_him authority over the nations…
OET (OET-RV) And anyone who’s victorious, who continues to do what I command until the end, I’ll give them authority to rule over the people groups on earth.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
