I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

I, John, am a believer like you. I am a friend who suffers like you. As members of Jesus’ royal family, we can put up with anything that happens to us. I was on the island of Patmos because I taught God’s word and what Jesus said.

I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

勸眾堅心、信道勿移、曰：『吾人欲入天主之國、必須經歷多難。』

予以此語爾、俾爾因予而得平安。爾在人世、固有患難、惟勿因是而餒、予已克勝人世矣。』

若望乃徵己所親睹者悉為天主之明訓、及耶穌基督之妙證。

爾既守吾寬忍之道、吾亦當於全世之人遭受試練時、保爾於難。

雖然、爾等與我共患難、而濟我之急、爾之所為誠善矣。

正惟不見、故渴望之、且堅忍熱烈而期待之也。

引人入甕者終必自入甕中；殺人以刀者、終必自傷刀下。諸聖之恆忍堅信、於是乎存。

諸兄弟賴羔羊之血、毅然為聖道作證、舍命不渝、從容就死；故能克服頑敵、終獲致勝。

諸聖之恆忍、於斯乎存。諸聖無他、即恪守天主之誡命、與夫耶穌之信條者是。

故望勿以為主作證是羞、亦勿以予之因主被囚為恥。當賴天主之德、毅然與我共為福音而忍辱負重也。

此則予所深信不疑者也。且予對爾懷此感想、允非過情；蓋爾我神交心契、實為一體；故予之縲絏、亦即爾之縲絏；予之護道樹教、爾托主恩、亦與有功焉、

既為兒女、即為嗣子；既為天主之嗣子、則亦為基督之共同繼承人也。惟是吾人如欲與之共榮、則不可不先與之共苦共難耳。

啟五緘、則見為天主聖道而致命者之靈魂盤桓於祭臺之下、

予應之曰：「公自知之。」渠乃語予曰：若輩來自憂患中、備嘗艱辛、曾藉羔羊之血、自濯其袍、所服皜皜乎不可尚已；

二人作證既畢、將有猛獸出自無底深壑與之戰、勝而殺之、

蓋欲奉行天主之旨而獲所諾、則耐德尚矣。

爾之憂患、爾之窮乏、吾所知也。雖然、爾實貧而富者也！彼自名為義塞人而非義塞人、實屬沙殫之黨羽者、謗爾誣爾、吾亦知之。爾今後尚將遭受苦難；望爾毋餒。爾其識之。惡魔將投爾中若干人於獄；此所以予爾以磨練耳。且爾將受難十日、望爾忠貞至死、吾當加爾以生命之榮冠。

且爾等於重重困辱憂患之中、仍能堅忍不拔、篤信不移、此尤為吾儕之所誇耀於天主眾會者也。蓋天主公平之睿斷、於此已見端倪。正惟爾等為天主之國受苦、是天主以爾等為克承其國也。

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。吾儕已為基督之故、而成斯世之狂徒矣；爾等則優遊基督之中、而聰明自若也。吾儕弱而爾等強、爾等享榮而吾儕蒙辱。吾儕至今猶忍饑耐渴、衣衫襤褸、被毆受撻、無家可歸、躬自操作、不遑寧處；被人詬誶、我則福之；被人凌虐、我則耐之；被人譭謗、我則禱之。而吾儕至今猶為天下之所唾棄、眾污之所歸集也！

凡我兄弟、應安心忍耐以俟主來。夫農夫之望收穫嘉穀、必須弗助弗忘、以待秋霖春雨之膏澤也。爾亦當學農夫之忍耐、堅定爾心。蓋主之來臨不遠矣。

若望致書於亞西亞七教會曰：伏願古今未來永生天主、寶座前之七神、

為善有恆、追求真光榮、真不朽者、報以永生、而營私樹黨、逆真理而順邪惡者、則報以譴怒。

且主循循善誘、必能引導爾等之心、臻於天主之愛德、及基督之涵忍也。

不寧惟是、吾人雖處患難、心中恆有至樂。蓋知患難所以生堅忍、堅忍所以致純熟、純熟則有望、

龍憾婦滋甚、遂與婦之餘裔挑釁；餘裔者、即遵守天主之誡命、而堅信耶穌之證言者是已。

更望與我同勞、庶不愧為基督耶穌之雄兵。夫從軍者、欲得其長官之獎許、必專心一志、不以雜務自累。競賽者欲奪得錦標、亦必嚴守紀律、弗違規章。嘉禾初熟、農夫先嘗其粒者、亦恃平日耕耘之勤耳。汝其深味吾言、則主必賜汝明悟、而無所不達矣。務將予所傳之福音、存之於心！一言以蔽之、即大維之裔、耶穌基督、確自死者中復活是已。予之所以身被桎梏、一若匪徒者、惟為斯福音而已。雖然、天主之道、則無人能加以桎梏也。予之忍受一切、實為選民之故、欲使其恃基督耶穌以邀天恩、而承無疆之休。建言有之：『人若共其死、亦必共其生。人若共其辱、亦當共其榮。人若不認主、主亦無從認。

吾乃俯伏而拜之、彼止之曰：「慎莫為此！我與爾及信奉耶穌妙證之眾兄弟、皆屬同寅；爾當敬拜天主耳。蓋耶穌之妙證、實為一切預言之靈樞。」
