總之、望吾小子、常寓基督懷中庶幾於彼重臨之日、吾人得具自信、而不致無顏以對。

小子乎、今宜恆在彼中、迨彼顯著、我儕於其降臨時、可毅然而無愧、

小子乎、當心交乎主、迨主顯著、我可無懼、主既降臨、我亦不愧、

小子乎、爾當恆居主內、使我儕至主顯現、在其降臨之時、得毅然無懼、且可無愧於其前、

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

基督乃吾人之真生命、一俟基督之顯、爾將與之同顯於光榮之中。

小子乎、吾作是書、欲爾等勿犯罪耳。然即使不幸獲罪、則吾人在聖父臺前、自有恩保代為贖罪、即聖者耶穌基督是已。

處此淫邪之世、而以吾及吾道為恥者、人子佩聖父榮光、偕聖天神降臨之日、亦必以其人為可恥也。』

嗚呼、於主耶穌臨格時、孰為吾之希望、吾之欣慰、吾之榮冕乎？非爾也耶？

俾爾等安心靜候吾主耶穌基督之顯現。

遵守誡命、務求心跡雙清、無懈可擊、以待主耶穌基督之來臨。

故基督既一度為除眾人之罪而捨生、亦將為其信徒重臨於世、非再贖罪、乃為之超渡也。

然此乃所以鍛鍊爾之信德、而於耶穌基督顯現之日、玉成爾之光榮及天爵耳。夫黃金乃必朽之物、尚且以火煉之；而信德固貴於黃金也。

經云：『慎之哉、余以躓人之石、礙人之磐、置於西温；惟能置信者、決不失望。』顧義塞人則見躓於斯石矣。
