For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

我想神把我们使徒明明列在末后，好像定死罪的囚犯；因为我们成了一台戏，给世人和天使观看。

我思上帝、置我儕使徒於末、如擬死者然、作劇於世、為天使與人所觀、

我思上帝、使我儕使徒、立於末局、如擬死之囚、為世人天使視若優伶、

我思天主、使我儕使徒、身居微末、如擬死之囚、如場上戲劇、為世界與天使及眾人所觀、

蓋天主已使我輩為其宗徒者、似成為最卑賤之人、一若擬死之囚、又似優伶演劇於世、以博人神之一笑者。

For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.

Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way.

As it is written: Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

We are afflicted in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair;we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed.We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be displayed in our body.For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’s sake, so that Jesus’s life may also be displayed in our mortal flesh.So then, death is at work in us, but life in you.

We don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our affliction that took place in Asia. We were completely overwhelmed— beyond our strength— so that we even despaired of life itself.Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death, so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.He has delivered us from such a terrible death, and he will deliver us. We have put our hope in him that he will deliver us again

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and the testimony they had given.They cried out with a loud voice,“ Lord, the one who is holy and true, how long until you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?”So they were each given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters, who were going to be killed just as they had been.

so that no one will be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

All the angels stood around the throne, and along with the elders and the four living creatures they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen.Then one of the elders asked me,“ Who are these people in white robes, and where did they come from?”I said to him,“ Sir, you know.” Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

as unknown, yet recognized; as dying, yet see— we live; as being disciplined, yet not killed;

Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

For it has been granted to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,since you are engaged in the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have.

Even some of the provincial officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent word to him, pleading with him not to venture into the amphitheater.

So the city was filled with confusion, and they rushed all together into the amphitheater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul’s traveling companions.

Why are we in danger every hour?I face death every day, as surely as I may boast about you, brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus our Lord.If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus as a mere man, what good did that do me? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

Others experienced mockings and scourgings, as well as bonds and imprisonment.

Then I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.Then the angel said to me,“ Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast, with the seven heads and the ten horns, that carries her.
