Apringius of Beja — on Rev 2:10 (TRACTATE ON THE APOCALYPSE 2:10)

“But he says, "You will have tribulation for ten days." This is to say, should you consider the present evils which you suffer in comparison to the perpetuity of the future blessedness, you will regard these without doubt as small and as quickly transient as though of ten days duration. And therefore, the apostle said: "I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."”
