因为在那些日子必有灾难,自从)神创造万物直到如今,并没有这样的灾难。后来也必没有。For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
若不是主减少那日子,凡有血气的,总没有一个得救的。只是为主的选民,他将那日子减少了。And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
因为假基督,假先知,将要起来,显神迹奇事。倘若能行,就把选民迷惑了。For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
