帖撒罗尼迦前书 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
问安
1 保罗、赛拉斯、提摩太，
致那在父神和主耶稣基督里的帖撒罗尼迦人的教会：
愿恩典与平安[a]临到你们！
感恩
2 我们为你们大家常常感谢神，在祷告中提到你们； 3 在神我们的父面前，不住地记念你们在我们主耶稣基督里的信仰的行为、爱心的劳苦，以及对盼望的忍耐。 4 蒙神所爱的弟兄们，我们知道你们是蒙拣选的， 5 因为我们的福音传到你们那里，不仅是藉着话语，也是藉着能力、圣灵和充分的确信。你们知道，为了你们的缘故，我们在你们中间是怎样为人的。 6 你们效法了我们，也效法了主，在大患难中，怀着圣灵所赐的喜乐接受了这话语。 7 因此，你们成了马其顿和亚该亚省所有信徒的榜样。 8 事实上，主的福音[b]已经从你们那里传扬出去，不仅在马其顿和亚该亚省，也在你们对神的信仰所传开的各个地方；所以我们不需要再说什么了。 9 其实他们自己在宣扬有关我们的事，说我们是怎样进到你们那里，你们是怎样离弃偶像归向神、服事又活又真的神， 10 并且等候他那从天降临的儿子，就是神使他从死人中复活的耶稣——他拯救我们脱离那将要来临的震怒。

1 Thessalonians 1
Living Bible
1 From: Paul, Silas, and Timothy.
To: The church at Thessalonica—to you who belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: May blessing and peace of heart be your rich gifts from God our Father and from Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 We always thank God for you and pray for you constantly. 3 We never forget your loving deeds as we talk to our God and Father about you, and your strong faith and steady looking forward to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 We know that God has chosen you, dear brothers, much beloved of God. 5 For when we brought you the Good News, it was not just meaningless chatter to you; no, you listened with great interest. What we told you produced a powerful effect upon you, for the Holy Spirit gave you great and full assurance that what we said was true. And you know how our very lives were further proof to you of the truth of our message. 6 So you became our followers and the Lord’s; for you received our message with joy from the Holy Spirit in spite of the trials and sorrows it brought you.
7 Then you yourselves became an example to all the other Christians in Greece. 8 And now the Word of the Lord has spread out from you to others everywhere, far beyond your boundaries, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your remarkable faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it, 9 for they keep telling us about the wonderful welcome you gave us, and how you turned away from your idols to God so that now the living and true God only is your Master. 10 And they speak of how you are looking forward to the return of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God brought back to life—and he is our only Savior from God’s terrible anger against sin.
1 Thessalonians 1
King James Version
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
