论到那些已经蒙了光照，尝过天恩的滋味，又于圣灵有分，
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
亲爱的弟兄们，我们虽是这样说，却深信你们的行为强过这些，而且近乎得救。<
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
我们愿你们各人都显出这样的殷勤，使你们有满足的指望，一直到底。
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
论福，我必赐大福给你。论子孙，我必叫你的子孙多起来。
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
照样，神愿意为那承受应许的人，格外显明他的旨意是不更改的，就起誓为证。
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
藉这两件不更改的事，神决不能说谎，好叫我们这逃往避难所，持定摆在我们前头指望的人，可以大得勉励。
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
我们有这指望如同灵魂的锚，又坚固又牢靠，且通入幔内。
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
我看见羔羊揭开七印中第一印的时候，就听见四活物中的一个活物，声音如雷，说，你来。
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
揭开第二印的时候，我听见第二个活物说，你来。
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
就另有一匹马出来，是红的。有权柄给了那骑马的，可以从地上夺去太平，使人彼此相杀。又有一把大刀赐给他。
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
