帖撒罗尼迦后书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
请求代祷
3 弟兄姊妹，最后我还要请你们为我们祷告，好使主的道像在你们那里一样迅速传开，受到尊崇， 2 并使我们能避开那些邪恶的人，因为不是人人都有信心。
3 主是信实的，祂必使你们刚强，保护你们脱离那恶者。 4 我们靠着主深信你们现在遵行了我们的吩咐，而且以后还会继续遵行。
5 愿主引导你们的心领悟上帝的爱和基督的坚忍。
不可游手好闲
6 弟兄姊妹，现在我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们，要远离那些游手好闲、不遵守我们教导的信徒。 7 你们自己知道应该怎样效法我们，因为我们在你们那里的时候，并没有懒懒散散， 8 也没有白吃谁的饭，而是昼夜辛勤工作，免得成为你们任何人的负担。 9 我们并不是没有权利接受供应，而是要给你们树立学习的榜样。 10 我们在你们那里的时候，曾吩咐过你们：不肯工作的人没有资格吃饭。 11 我们听说在你们当中有些人游手好闲，无所事事，却专管闲事。 12 我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐并劝诫这些人要安分守己，自食其力。
13 弟兄姊妹，你们要坚持行善，不要灰心。 14 如果有人不听从这信上的教导，要注意提防他，不要和他来往，好使他羞愧。 15 只是不可把他当作仇人，要像对待弟兄姊妹一样劝诫他。
问候
16 愿平安之主随时随地亲自赐你们平安！愿主与你们同在！ 17 我保罗在这里亲笔问候你们，这是我的笔迹，我所有的信都以此为记号。
18 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与你们众人同在！
2 Thessalonians 3
New Living Translation
Paul’s Request for Prayer
3 Finally, dear brothers and sisters,[a] we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. 2 Pray, too, that we will be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not everyone is a believer. 3 But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.[b] 4 And we are confident in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we commanded you. 5 May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.
An Exhortation to Proper Living
6 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all believers[c] who live idle lives and don’t follow the tradition they received[d] from us. 7 For you know that you ought to imitate us. We were not idle when we were with you. 8 We never accepted food from anyone without paying for it. We worked hard day and night so we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an example to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”
11 Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. 12 We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living. 13 As for the rest of you, dear brothers and sisters, never get tired of doing good.
14 Take note of those who refuse to obey what we say in this letter. Stay away from them so they will be ashamed. 15 Don’t think of them as enemies, but warn them as you would a brother or sister.[e]
Paul’s Final Greetings
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.
17 HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING—PAUL. I DO THIS IN ALL MY LETTERS TO PROVE THEY ARE FROM ME.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
