Then I heard a voice from heaven say,“ Write this:‘ Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment on!’”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ so they can rest from their hard work, because their deeds will follow them.”

我听见从天上有声音说：“你要写下：从今以后，在主里面而死的人有福了！”圣灵说：“是的，他们息了自己的劳苦，做工的果效也随着他们。”

我听见从天上有声音说：“你要写下：从今以后，在主里死去的人有福了。”圣灵说：“是的，他们要从自己的劳苦中得安息，因为工作的成果永随着他们。”

我听见从天上有声音说：“你要写下：从今以后，在主里死去的人有福了。”圣灵说：“是的，他们要从自己的劳苦中得安息，因为工作的成果永随着他们。”

我听见天上有声音说：“你将下面的话写下来，从今以后，那些为主而死的人有福了！”圣灵说：“是的！他们将得享安息，不再劳苦。他们工作的成果必随着他们。”

我听见从天上有声音说：“你要写下来！从今以后，那在主里死去的人有福了！”圣灵说：“是的，他们脱离自己的劳苦，得享安息了，他们的作为也随着他们。”

接着，我听见有声音从天上传来，说：“你当写下：从今以后，在主里死去的人是蒙福的！”圣灵说：“是的！他们将脱离自己的劳苦进入安息，因为他们的作为将伴随着他们。”

我聽見從天上有聲音說：「你要寫下：從今以後，在主裏面而死的人有福了！」聖靈說：「是的，他們息了自己的勞苦，做工的果效也隨着他們。」

我聽見從天上有聲音說：「你要寫下：從今以後，在主裏死去的人有福了。」聖靈說：「是的，他們要從自己的勞苦中得安息，因為工作的成果永隨着他們。」

我聽見從天上有聲音說：“你要寫下來！從今以後，那在主裡死去的人有福了！”聖靈說：“是的，他們脫離自己的勞苦，得享安息了，他們的作為也隨著他們。”

我聽見從天上有聲音說：『你要寫下來：「在主裏面死去的人有福啊！」』聖靈說：『從今以後、他們歇了他們的勞苦而得安息；他們所作的工就永跟着他們。』

接著，我聽見有聲音從天上傳來，說：「你當寫下：從今以後，在主裡死去的人是蒙福的！」聖靈說：「是的！他們將脫離自己的勞苦進入安息，因為他們的作為將伴隨著他們。」

我聞自天有聲曰、書之、今而後宗主而死者福矣、聖神曰、然、彼息諸勞、而諸行隨之、○

我聞自天有聲語我曰、厥後宗主而死者、必蒙綏祉、當筆之於書、聖神曰、然、息其勤勞、功亦隨之、

我聞自天有聲語我曰、爾當筆之於書、今而後、信主而死者、乃為有福、聖神曰、然、蓋彼息其勞、其功亦隨之、○

又聞一音發自天上曰：『書之：此後庇主之蔭而死者、洵為有福。聖神曰：「誠哉、若輩必得釋其勞苦、而永享安寧；以若輩平生功德常隨其身。」』

Then I heard a voice from heaven say,“ Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Then I heard a voice from heaven.“ Write this,” it said.“ Blessed are the dead who die as believers in the Lord from now on.”“ Yes,” says the Holy Spirit.“ They will rest from their labor. What they have done will not be forgotten.”

And I heard a voice from heaven saying,“ Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”“ Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit,“ that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

And I heard a voice from heaven saying,“ Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying,“ Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ so they will rest from their labors, since their works follow them.”

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying,“ Write:‘ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’ ”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them.”

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,“ Write:‘ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying,“ Write: The dead who die in the Lord from now on are blessed.”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ let them rest from their labors, for their works follow them!”

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed[ are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

I heard a voice from heaven saying,“ Write,‘ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’”“ Yes,” says the Spirit,“ that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Each of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached of both their fellow servants and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

Blessed and holy is the one who takes part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

Then the angel said to me,“ Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” He also said to me,“ These are the true words of God.”

The godly perish, but no one cares. Honest people disappear, when no one minds that the godly disappear because of evil.Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace; they rest on their beds.

Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him.

There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.There the prisoners relax together; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.Small and great are there, and the slave is free from his master.

And the one seated on the throne said:“ Look! I am making all things new!” Then he said to me,“ Write it down, because these words are reliable and true.”

I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith!Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day– and not to me only, but also to all who have set their affection on his appearing.

Finally the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying:“ It is done!”

He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him.

So I said to him,“ My lord, you know the answer.” Then he said to me,“ These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb!For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them.They will never go hungry or be thirsty again, and the sun will not beat down on them, nor any burning heat,because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

those whom the LORD has ransomed will return that way. They will enter Zion with a happy shout. Unending joy will crown them, happiness and joy will overwhelm them; grief and suffering will disappear.

Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by how you use worldly wealth, so that when it runs out you will be welcomed into the eternal homes.

For it is right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels.

Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’Then the righteous will answer him,‘ Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’And the king will answer them,‘ I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.’

Then the temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was visible within his temple. And there were flashes of lightning, roaring, crashes of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints.But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end,

If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there; those who obey them receive a rich reward.

When the seven thunders spoke, I was preparing to write, but just then I heard a voice from heaven say,“ Seal up what the seven thunders spoke and do not write it down.”

For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer:I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far,

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:“ The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.”

But Abraham said,‘ Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus likewise bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you.

So I again considered all the oppression that continually occurs on earth. This is what I saw: The oppressed were in tears, but no one was comforting them; no one delivers them from the power of their oppressors.So I considered those who are dead and gone more fortunate than those who are still alive.

So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

And a voice from heaven said,“ This is my one dear Son; in him I take great delight.”

“ To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write the following:“ This is the solemn pronouncement of the one who has a firm grasp on the seven stars in his right hand– the one who walks among the seven golden lampstands:

saying:“ Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches– to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
