Many witnesses, including the Andreas tradition, have a parenthetical
phrase at the beginning of this verse, such as καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν νεκρῶν
οὐκ ἔζησαν ἄχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη (‘And the rest of the dead did not
come to life until the thousand years were ended’; [02] 254 1006 [1611]
1637 etc.). This is absent from Codex Sinaiticus and the Koine text (01
2053 etc.). It would be very easy for the longer text to have been
omitted through eyeskip from the preceding χίλια ἔτη (‘a thousand
years’) and the phrase is included in the previous hand editions as well
as the SBLGNT and THGNT. Nevertheless, the variety of forms in which it
is found and its clarificatory content, as well as the smoother reading
which results from its absence, led the ECM editors to consider it as a
later gloss formed of text from the two preceding verses (see the long
discussion in the ECM Revelation Textual Commentary). It may be
noted that all Greek manuscripts here and at Rev. 20:3 read ἄχρι
(‘until’): the appearance of ἕως (‘until’) in the Textus Receptus is a synonym consistent with a retranslation from the Latin by Erasmus (cf. Rev. 1:4, 6:1, 21:6 etc.).

Codex Sinaiticus
Greek New Testament (UBS6): Sixth Revised Edition
After more than ten years of intensive preparation, a new edition of the UBS Greek New Testament (6th edition) is now available. It offers the most up-to-date Greek text with the textual changes from the Editio Critica Maior volumes on the Acts of the Apostles (2017), the Gospel of Mark (2021), and Revelation (2024). The text differs from the text of the 5th edition in more than 100 places and is identical to that of the 29th edition of the Novum Testamentum Graece (NA29), which is in preparation for 2026.
The apparatus includes clearly structured entries on all major variants of the text. The selection of the passages was guided by the question of their relevance for translation and interpretation. The importance of the so-called Textus Receptus has also been given greater consideration compared to previous editions. The selection of manuscripts was focused on the most important witnesses, which are now supplemented by new manuscripts (papyri 128 to 141).
This sixth edition begins with an accessible introduction in English and is edited by an international and interdenominational committee, which is also responsible for NA29 and works closely with the Institute for New Testament Textual Research: Holger Strutwolf, Hugh Houghton, Christos Karakolis, David Parker, Stephen Pisano, David Trobisch, and Klaus Wacht.
