可愛者乎、有自言感於神者、爾勿概信、當試其神由天主出否、蓋世多有偽先知出、

昔時民間有偽先知、如爾中將有偽師、私傳敗壞之異端、敗壞之異端或作害人之異端不認贖彼之主、自取速亡、將有多人、從其邪行、真道因之受謗、彼由貪婪、以飾言惑爾、視如貿易得利、彼受鞫見罰、自古擬定、速至不遲、彼之淪亡即臨、即臨原文作不寢

凡事省察、惟據於善、

我知爾之作為、我已啟門於爾前、莫能閉之、蓋爾畧有力、已守我道、不拒我名、

我知爾之作為、爾不冷不熱、願爾或冷或熱、

彼乃偽使徒、行事詭詐、貌為基督之使徒、此亦不足為奇、蓋撒但亦貌為光明之天使、彼之役、貌為義之役、亦不甚奇、終必受報、依其所行之事、○

使我儕不復為小子、中人之巧詐詭譎、及其誘惑之法、而被諸異教之風、飄蕩搖動、

我書此達爾、非為爾不知真理、誠以爾知真理、亦知凡誑者、非由真理、誑者誰乎、非不認耶穌為基督者乎、不認父與子、即敵基督者也、

蓋主喜悅善人之道、惡人之道、必至滅亡、

然天主所築之基、仍為鞏固、有印誌云、主識屬己者、又云、呼基督基督有原文抄本作主名者、當遠不義之事、

爾當書達撒狄教會使者、曰、有天主七神、又執七星者、如是云、我知爾之作為、名為生、實則死、

此不足為福音也、但有人擾爾、欲傾覆基督之福音、

爾曹為天主名勤勞而施仁愛、素供事聖徒、今仍供事之、天主非不義、必不忘爾之工、

我知爾之作為、爾之患難、爾之窮乏、而實富有、自稱為猶太人、實非猶太人、乃屬撒但會者、其謗言我亦知之、

我知爾之作為、亦知爾所處之地、乃撒但座位之地、昔安提帕盡忠為我作證者見殺於爾間、即撒但所居之處、其時爾猶堅信、尊我名、不拒我道、然尚有稍可責爾者、因爾中有從巴蘭教者、昔巴蘭教巴拉克、誘惑以色列人食祭偶像之物、且行淫、爾中亦有人從尼哥拉黨之教、此教乃我所惡者、

我知爾之作為、爾之仁愛與服勞、爾之信德及忍耐、且知爾後之所為、多於爾前之所為、然尚有稍可責爾者、因爾容彼自稱為先知之婦耶洗別教異端、誘我僕行淫、食祭偶像之物、我已賜彼悔改淫行之機、彼仍不悔改、

時我則明告之曰、我未嘗識爾曹、爾眾作惡者、可離我而去、

在吾父天主前、恆念爾曹、以信而行、以愛而勞者、因望我主耶穌基督而忍耐、

惟爾尚有可取者、爾惡尼哥拉黨之所為、亦我所惡者也、
