问安

保罗、西拉和提摩太,写信给帖撒罗尼迦、在父 神和主耶稣基督里的教会。愿恩惠平安临到你们。

帖撒罗尼迦教会的榜样

我们常常为你们众人感谢 神,祷告的时候提到你们, 在我们的父 神面前,不住地记念你们信心的工作,爱心的劳苦和因盼望我们主耶稣基督而有的坚忍。  神所爱的弟兄们,我们知道你们是蒙拣选的, 因为我们的福音传到你们那里,不单是借着言语,也是借着权能,借着圣灵和充足的信心。为了你们的缘故,我们在你们中间为人怎样,这是你们知道的。 你们效法了我们,也效法了主,在大患难中,带着圣灵的喜乐接受了真道。 这样,你们就成了马其顿和亚该亚所有信徒的榜样。 因为不单主的道从你们那里传遍了马其顿和亚该亚,就是你们对 神的信心也传遍了各处,所以我们不用再说甚么了。 他们都述说你们是怎样接待我们,而且怎样离弃偶像归向 神,要服事这位又真又活的 神, 10 并且等候他的儿子从天降临。这就是 神使他从死人中复活,救我们脱离将来的忿怒的那位耶稣。

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.

So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Greetings

From:[a] Paul, Silvanus,[b] and Timothy.

To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.[c]

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah,[d] be yours!

Paul’s Prayer for the Thessalonians

We always thank God for all of you when we mention you in our prayers. In the presence of our God and Father, we constantly remember how your faith is active,[e] your love is hard at work,[f] and your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah[g] is enduring.[h] Brothers whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you, for the gospel we brought[i] did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed,[j] you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord. In spite of a great deal of suffering, you welcomed the word with the joy that the Holy Spirit produces.[k] As a result, you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. From you the word of the Lord has spread out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything about it.

For people[l] keep telling us what kind of welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve a living and true God 10 and to wait for his Son whom he raised from the dead to come back[m] from heaven. This Jesus is the one who rescues us from the coming wrath.
