REV 7:12 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:9–17: A great multitude praised God and the Lamb

In this section, John saw a new part of this vision. He saw believers rejoicing, praising, and worshiping in heaven. One of the elders around the throne (4:4) explained the vision to John.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The vision of a huge crowd of believers and its explanation

The Great Multitude in White Robes (NIV)

God’s People Around His Throne in Heaven (GW)

7:12a–c

Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God: These words praise God. There is no verb in the Greek. The BSB and many other English versions add the verb be. This phrase indicates that the angels agreed that God had praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength. Other ways to translate this clause are:

our God has all praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength

Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength belong to our God forever and ever! (CEV)

We praise and glorify our God. He is wise! We thank and honor him. He is powerful and mighty!

See how you translated a similar clause in 1:6 (“to Him be the glory and power”).

7:12a

saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom

saying, “Amen. Praise and majesty and wisdom
They said, “Even so. Praise, glory, wisdom,

Amen: The word Amen is a Hebrew word that means “even so” or “it is true.” It is used to agree with what was said. The Greek borrowed the Hebrew word. English borrowed this word as well. See how you translated this word in 1:6 or 5:14.

Blessing: This word refers to speaking words to honor someone. In some languages it is more natural to translate this noun as a verb. For example:

We praise you, our God

May our God be blessed

glory: The Greek word that the BSB translates as glory refers to greatness, power, splendor, and majesty. In some languages it is more natural to translate this as a verb or adjective. For example:

we glorify our God

Our God is glorious/great/majestic

See how you translated this word in 4:9 or 5:12.

wisdom: The word wisdom means “be able to understand events and know what should be done.” See how you translated this word in 5:12.

7:12b

and thanks and honor and power and strength

and thanks and honor and might and power
thanksgiving, reverence, ability, and strength

honor: The Greek word that the BSB translates as honor means “respect, reverence.” See how you translated it in 5:12.

power and strength: The Greek words that the BSB translates as power and strength both refer to power, force, and strength. The Greek word that the BSB translates as power can also refer to ability. If possible, use two words related to “power,” “strength,” “might,” or “ability” here.

In some languages it is more natural to use verbs or adjectives. For example:

Our God is strong and mighty

How powerful is our God! How mighty is he!

See how you translated the two words power and strength in 5:12.

7:12c

be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

goes to our^(excl) God forever and ever. Amen!”
belong to you,^(sing) our^(excl) God always. Truly!”

forever and ever: The Greek phrase is literally “into the ages of the ages.” This phrase means “always” or “eternally.” See how you translated this phrase in 5:13.
