帖撒罗尼迦前书 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
保罗的服事
2 弟兄们,你们自己知道,我们进到你们那里并不是空无果效的; 2 相反,正如你们知道,虽然我们以前在腓立比受了苦、受了凌辱,但是靠着我们的神,我们还是放胆直言,在大争战中把神的福音传给了你们。 3 我们的劝勉不是出于迷惑[a],不是出于污秽,也不是用诡诈; 4 相反,我们怎样被神考验而受了福音的委托,我们就照样传讲;不是要讨人的喜悦,而是要讨神的喜悦——神是考验我们内心的。 5 实际上,我们从来没有用过谄媚的话,这是你们知道的;也没有怀着贪婪的居心,这是神可以见证的[b]。 6 无论向你们或向其他人,我们也都没有寻求从人来的荣耀。 7 我们身为基督的使徒,虽然可以加给你们重担,但是我们在你们当中成了温柔的[c],就像哺乳的母亲顾惜自己的儿女那样。 8 我们这样眷爱你们,不仅乐意把神的福音分享给你们,连自己的生命[d]也乐意分享给你们,因为你们成了我们所爱的人。 9 弟兄们,你们记得我们的辛苦和劳碌:我们把神的福音传给你们的时候,我们日夜做工,免得成为你们任何人的负担。 10 你们和神可以见证:我们对你们这些信的人是多么圣洁、公义、无可指责的。 11 正如你们知道我们怎样待你们每一个人,就像父亲待自己的儿女那样; 12 我们鼓励你们,安慰你们,忠告你们,为要你们行事为人配得上那召唤你们进入他国度和荣耀的神。
两种态度
13 我们之所以也不住地感谢神,是因为你们接受了从我们所听的神的话语,没有把它看做人的话语,而是把它看做神的话语接受了;这确实是神的话语,而且它也正在你们这些信的人里面做工。 14 弟兄们,你们效法了犹太地区在基督耶稣里属神的各教会,因为你们也受了自己同胞的苦害,就像他们受了犹太人的苦害那样。 15 这些犹太人不但杀了主耶稣和[e]先知们,也驱逐了我们,并且不讨神的喜悦,又与所有的人作对, 16 阻止我们向外邦人传道使外邦人得救。这样,他们常常积满自己的罪孽,而神的[f]震怒在最后临到了他们身上!
保罗的渴望
17 弟兄们,我们被迫暂时与你们分离——身体分离,心却没有;我们非常渴望并且更加努力要见你们的面, 18 所以我们想要到你们那里去。我保罗确实一再地要去,只是撒旦拦阻了我们。 19 我们主耶稣[g]来临的时候,在主[h]面前,到底谁是我们的盼望、喜乐和所夸耀的冠冕呢?难道不也是你们吗? 20 的确,你们就是我们的荣耀和喜乐。

1 Thessalonians 2
King James Version
2 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.

2 Vous savez vous-mêmes, frères, que notre arrivée chez vous n'a pas été sans résultat.
2 Après avoir souffert et reçu des outrages à Philippes, comme vous le savez, nous prîmes de l'assurance en notre Dieu, pour vous annoncer l'Évangile de Dieu, au milieu de bien des combats.
3 Car notre prédication ne repose ni sur l'erreur, ni sur des motifs impurs, ni sur la fraude;
4 mais, selon que Dieu nous a jugés dignes de nous confier l'Évangile, ainsi nous parlons, non comme pour plaire à des hommes, mais pour plaire à Dieu, qui sonde nos coeurs.
5 Jamais, en effet, nous n'avons usé de paroles flatteuse, comme vous le savez; jamais nous n'avons eu la cupidité pour mobile, Dieu en est témoin.
6 Nous n'avons point cherché la gloire qui vient des hommes, ni de vous ni des autres; nous aurions pu nous produire avec autorité comme apôtres de Christ,
7 mais nous avons été pleins de douceur au milieu de vous. De même qu'une nourrice prend un tendre soin de ses enfants,
8 nous aurions voulu, dans notre vive affection pour vous, non seulement vous donner l'Évangile de Dieu, mais encore nos propres vies, tant vous nous étiez devenus chers.
9 Vous vous rappelez, frères, notre travail et notre peine: nuit et jour à l'oeuvre, pour n'être à charge à aucun de vous, nous vous avons prêché l'Évangile de Dieu.
10 Vous êtes témoins, et Dieu l'est aussi, que nous avons eu envers vous qui croyez une conduite sainte, juste et irréprochable.
11 Vous savez aussi que nous avons été pour chacun de vous ce qu'un père est pour ses enfants,
12 vous exhortant, vous consolant, vous conjurant de marcher d'une manière digne de Dieu, qui vous appelle à son royaume et à sa gloire.
13 C'est pourquoi nous rendons continuellement grâces à Dieu de ce qu'en recevant la parole de Dieu, que nous vous avons fait entendre, vous l'avez reçue, non comme la parole des hommes, mais, ainsi qu'elle l'est véritablement, comme la parole de Dieu, qui agit en vous qui croyez.
14 Car vous, frères, vous êtes devenus les imitateurs des Églises de Dieu qui sont en Jésus Christ dans la Judée, parce que vous aussi, vous avez souffert de la part de vos propres compatriotes les mêmes maux qu'elles ont soufferts de la part des Juifs.
15 Ce sont ces Juifs qui ont fait mourir le Seigneur Jésus et les prophètes, qui nous ont persécutés, qui ne plaisent point à Dieu, et qui sont ennemis de tous les hommes,
16 nous empêchant de parler aux païens pour qu'ils soient sauvés, en sorte qu'ils ne cessent de mettre le comble à leurs péchés. Mais la colère a fini par les atteindre.
17 Pour nous, frères, après avoir été quelque temps séparés de vous, de corps mais non de coeur, nous avons eu d'autant plus ardemment le vif désir de vous voir.
18 Aussi voulions-nous aller vers vous, du moins moi Paul, une et même deux fois; mais Satan nous en a empêchés.
19 Qui est, en effet, notre espérance, ou notre joie, ou notre couronne de gloire? N'est-ce pas vous aussi, devant notre Seigneur Jésus, lors de son avènement?
20 Oui, vous êtes notre gloire et notre joie.
1 Thessalonians 2
New King James Version
Paul’s Conduct(A)
2 For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain. 2 But [a]even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at (B)Philippi, as you know, we were (C)bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict. 3 (D)For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.
4 But as (E)we have been approved by God (F)to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, (G)not as pleasing men, but God (H)who tests our hearts. 5 For (I)neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a [b]cloak for covetousness—(J)God is witness. 6 (K)Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when (L)we might have (M)made demands (N)as apostles of Christ. 7 But (O)we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased (P)to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also (Q)our own lives, because you had become dear to us. 9 For you remember, brethren, our (R)labor and toil; for laboring night and day, (S)that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
10 (T)You are witnesses, and God also, (U)how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe; 11 as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and [c]charged every one of you, as a father does his own children, 12 (V)that you would walk worthy of God (W)who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
Their Conversion
13 For this reason we also thank God (X)without ceasing, because when you (Y)received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it (Z)not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively (AA)works in you who believe. 14 For you, brethren, became imitators (AB)of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For (AC)you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, 15 (AD)who killed both the Lord Jesus and (AE)their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God (AF)and are [d]contrary to all men, 16 (AG)forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always (AH)to fill up the measure of their sins; (AI)but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
Longing to See Them
17 But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time (AJ)in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. 18 Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but (AK)Satan hindered us. 19 For (AL)what is our hope, or joy, or (AM)crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the (AN)presence of our Lord Jesus Christ (AO)at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy.
