问安

保罗、西拉和提摩太,写信给帖撒罗尼迦、在我们的父 神和主耶稣基督里的教会。 愿恩惠平安从父 神和主耶稣基督临到你们。

主再来时必施行审判

弟兄们,我们应该常常为你们感谢 神,这是合适的。因为你们的信心格外长进,你们众人彼此相爱的心也在增加。 所以我们在 神的众教会里,亲自夸奖你们,因为你们在所受的一切迫害患难中,仍然存着坚忍和信心。 这正是 神公义判断的明证,使你们可以算是配得上他的国;你们也是为了 神的国而受苦。 6-7  神既然是公义的,主耶稣和他有能力的天使从天上显现在火焰中的时候,就使你们这些受灾难的人,可以和我们同享安息;却以灾难报应那些把灾难加给你们的人。 又要报应那些不认识 神、不听从我们主耶稣的福音的人。 9-10 当主来的时候,他们要受永远沉沦的惩罚,就是离开主的面和他权能的荣光。在那一天,他要在圣徒身上得着荣耀,又要在所有信徒身上受到尊崇(你们也在他们当中,因为你们信了我们向你们所作的见证)。 11 因此,我们常常为你们祷告,愿我们的 神看你们是配得上所蒙的召,又用大能成就你们所羡慕的一切良善和信心的工作, 12 使我们主耶稣的名,照着我们的 神和主耶稣基督的恩,在你们身上得着荣耀,你们也在他身上得着荣耀。

Paul[a] and Silvanus[b] and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We Thank God For Your Faith And Love, And Boast of Your Endurance Amidst Afflictions

We ought to be giving-thanks to God always for you, brothers, just as it is fitting, because your faith is growing-abundantly and the love of each one of you all toward one another is increasing, so that we ourselves are boasting in you among the churches of God with reference to your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and afflictions which you are bearing-with—

These Are Evidence of God’s Righteous Judgment Concerning You And Those Afflicting You

... which is evidence[c] of the righteous judgment of [d] God that you will be[e] considered-worthy of the kingdom of God for the sake of which you also[f] are suffering, since it will be a righteous thing with[g] God to repay[h] affliction to the ones afflicting you and to give you, the ones being afflicted, rest[i] along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with angels of [j] His power in flaming fire, giving[k] punishment[l] to the ones not knowing God and[m] the ones not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus— who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from[n] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of [o] His strength, 10 when He comes to be glorified in[p] His saints and marveled-at [q] among[r] all the ones having believed— because[s] our testimony to you was believed— on that day,

We Pray For God To Fulfill Your Every Desire To Express Your Goodness And Faith

11 ... for which[t] also[u] we are praying always for you in order that our God may consider you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill every desire[v] of goodness[w] and work of [x] faith with [His] power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in Him, according-to[y] the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silas[a](A) and Timothy,(B)

To the church of the Thessalonians(C) in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(D)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

We ought always to thank God for you,(E) brothers and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.(F) Therefore, among God’s churches we boast(G) about your perseverance and faith(H) in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.(I)

All this is evidence(J) that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy(K) of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just:(L) He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you(M) and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(N) in blazing fire(O) with his powerful angels.(P) He will punish(Q) those who do not know God(R) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(S) They will be punished with everlasting destruction(T) and shut out from the presence of the Lord(U) and from the glory of his might(V) 10 on the day(W) he comes to be glorified(X) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.(Y)

11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,(Z) that our God may make you worthy(AA) of his calling,(AB) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness(AC) and your every deed prompted by faith.(AD) 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,(AE) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[c]
