/was/_given ˱to˲_them each /a/_robe white and ˱it˲_/was/_said ˱to˲_them
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God gave each of them a white robe and told them”

πληρωθῶσιν καὶ
/may_be/_fulfilled also
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people had killed all of”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
καὶ οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν
and and also the fellow-slaves ˱of˲_them and the brothers ˱of˲_them
The terms fellow servants and brothers mean similar things. The two terms are being used together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “all of those who believed in Jesus as they did”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οἱ ἀδελφοὶ
the the brothers
Here the term brothers describes people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “fellow believers”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
οἱ ἀδελφοὶ
the the brothers
Although the term brothers is masculine, here the word has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you wish to retain the expression in your translation, you could word it in a way that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “brothers and sisters”
6:11 A white robe is symbolic of the martyrs’ victory and of God’s full acceptance.
• they were told to rest: Death is a state of rest (cp. John 11:11-12) in which martyrs await God’s justice.
• the full number: Only God knows how many Christians will be martyred before the end. In his sovereignty, God will fulfill his purposes through his children who are martyred and will vindicate them at the appropriate time.
• brothers and sisters: Greek adelphoi; this term refers to people, both male and female, who are members of the same family.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
