帖撒羅尼迦後書 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
不法的人
2 弟兄們,關於我們主耶穌基督的來臨和我們到他那裏聚集,我勸你們: 2 無論藉着靈,藉着言語,藉着冒我的名寫的書信,說主的日子已經到了,不要輕易動心,也不要驚慌。 3 不要讓任何人用甚麼法子欺騙你們,因為那日子以前必有叛教的事,並有那不法的人,那沉淪之子出現。 4 那抵擋者高抬自己超過一切稱為神明的,和一切受人敬拜的,甚至坐在 神的殿裏,自稱為 神。 5 我還在你們那裏的時候曾把這些事告訴你們,你們不記得嗎? 6 現在你們也知道那攔阻他的是甚麼,為要使他到了時機才出現。 7 因為那不法的隱祕已經運作,只是現在有一個阻擋的,要等到那阻擋的被除去才會發作, 8 那時這不法的人必出現,主耶穌[a]要用口中的氣滅絕他,以自己來臨的光輝摧毀他。 9 這不法的人來,是靠撒但的運作,行各樣的異能、神蹟和一切虛假的奇事, 10 並且在那沉淪的人身上行各樣不義的詭詐,因為他們不領受愛真理的心,好讓他們得救。 11 故此, 神就給他們一個引發錯誤的心,叫他們信從虛謊, 12 使一切不信真理、倒喜愛不義的人都被定罪。
被揀選接受救恩
13 主所愛的弟兄們哪,我們本該常為你們感謝 神,因為他揀選你們為初熟的果子[b],使你們因信真道,又蒙聖靈感化成聖,得到拯救。 14 為此, 神藉着我們所傳的福音呼召你們,好得着我們主耶穌基督的榮光。 15 所以,弟兄們,你們要站立得穩,凡所領受的教導,無論是我們口傳的,是信上寫的,都要堅守。
16 願我們主耶穌基督自己,和那愛我們、開恩將永遠的安慰及美好的盼望賜給我們的父 神, 17 安慰你們的心,並且在一切善行善言上堅固你們!
2 Thessalonians 2
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Now Don’t Be Alarmed: The Day of The Lord Has Not Yet Come
2 Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering-together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your understanding nor alarmed— neither by a spirit[a], nor by a word, nor by a letter as-if through us, how that the day of the Lord is present[b]. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way, because it will not be present unless the apostasy[c] comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed[d]— the son of [e] destruction, 4 the one opposing and exalting himself over[f] everything being called god or an object-of-worship[g], so that he sits-down[h] in the temple[i] of God displaying[j] himself that he is god. 5 Do you not remember that while still being with you I was telling you these things? 6 And you know the thing restraining[k] now, so that he might be revealed in his own time.
For Lawlessness Is Being Restrained Right Now, But The Lawless One Will Come Later
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at-work[l], only there is the one restraining right-now until he comes[m] out of the midst[n]. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of His mouth and do-away-with[o] by the appearance of His coming[p]— 9 whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of [q] falsehood, 10 and with every deception of [r] unrighteousness for the ones perishing because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason, God sends them a working of [s] error[t] so that they will believe the falsehood[u], 12 in order that all the ones not having believed in the truth but having taken-pleasure[v] in unrighteousness may be condemned.
But God Chose You To Be The Firstfruits of Salvation. Stand Firm And Hold On To The Truth
13 But[w] we ought to be giving-thanks to God always for you, brothers having been loved by the Lord, because God chose you to be the firstfruit[x] for salvation in[y] the holiness of [z] the Spirit and faith[aa] in the truth— 14 to which also He called you through our good-news, for the obtaining[ab] of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, be standing-firm, and be holding-on-to the traditions which you were taught— whether by word [of mouth] or by our letter. 16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, the One having loved us and having given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
