帖撒罗尼迦后书 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
问安
1 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。 2 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
3 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。 4 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。 5 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。 8 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。
2 Thessalonians 1
New International Reader's Version
1 I, Paul, am writing this letter. Silas and Timothy join me in writing.
We are sending this letter to you, the members of the church in Thessalonica. You belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Paul Prays and Gives Thanks
3 Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. That is only right, because your faith is growing more and more. We also thank God that the love you all have for one another is increasing. 4 So among God’s churches we brag about the fact that you don’t give up easily. We brag about your faith in all the suffering and testing you are going through.
5 All of this proves that when God judges, he is fair. So you will be considered worthy to enter God’s kingdom. You are suffering for his kingdom. 6 God is fair. He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble. 7 He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All these things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who don’t know God. He will punish those who don’t obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be destroyed forever. They will be shut out of heaven. They will never see the glory of the Lord’s strength. 10 All these things will happen when he comes. On that day his glory will be seen in his holy people. Everyone who has believed will be amazed when they see him. This includes you, because you believed the witness we gave you.
11 Keeping this in mind, we never stop praying for you. Our God has chosen you. We pray that he will make you worthy of his choice. We pray he will make every good thing you want to do come true. We pray that he will do this by his power. We pray that he will make perfect all that you have done by faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus will receive glory through what you have done. We also pray that you will receive glory through what he has done. We pray all these things in keeping with the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
