^{Revelation 4:1 [1]} Lit wars.

^{Revelation 4:2 [2]} Lit you do not have.

^{Revelation 4:2 [3]} Possibly a reference to Christ's statement in MAT 5:22, or to actually doing something that results in someone's death in order to take what he has.

^{Revelation 4:3 [4]} Lit wrongly.

^{Revelation 4:5 [5]} This verse is difficult to translate, and it seems that James is paraphrasing or generalizing a scriptural concept rather than quoting directly from the Old Testament.

^{Revelation 4:11 [6]} This is not a prohibition of all judgment, nor is it a command to stop using godly wisdom, common sense, and moral courage together with God's written word to discern right from wrong, to distinguish between morality and immorality, and to judge doctrinal truth. There are many judgments that are not only legitimate, but are commanded (cf JHN 7:24; 1CO 5:5, 12; GAL 1:8, 9; 1JN 4:1-3; 2JN 1:10); however, you cannot judge another if you are committing the same type of sin.

^{Revelation 4:14 [7]} Lit Who do not.

^{Revelation 4:14 [8]} Lit what sort your life will be.

^{Revelation 4:15 [9]} Lit of your saying.
