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。

我保罗同西拉和提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦属于父上帝和主耶稣基督的教会。

愿恩典和平安归给你们!

信徒的榜样

我们常常为你们众人感谢上帝,为你们祷告, 在我们的父上帝面前不断地想到你们因信我们主耶稣基督而做的工作、因爱祂而受的劳苦和因祂所赐的盼望而激发的忍耐。

上帝所爱的弟兄姊妹,我们知道上帝拣选了你们, 因为我们传福音给你们不只是靠言语,也靠上帝的能力、圣灵的同在和充分的确据。你们也知道,我们为了你们的缘故怎样在你们中间行事为人。 你们效法了我们和我们的主,尽管深受苦难,仍然怀着圣灵所赐的喜乐领受真道, 成了马其顿和亚该亚所有信徒的榜样。 主的道从你们那里不仅传到了马其顿和亚该亚,还传到了其他各地,你们对上帝的信心也广为人知,我们无须再多说什么。 因为人们都在传讲你们如何接待我们,如何离弃偶像归向上帝,事奉又真又活的上帝, 10 等候祂的儿子从天降临,就是祂使之从死里复活、救我们脱离将来可怕审判[a]的耶稣。

Greeting

From Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy.

To the Thessalonians’ church that is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace and peace to all of you.

Thanksgiving to God

We always thank God for all of you when we mention you constantly in our prayers. This is because we remember your work that comes from faith,[a] your effort that comes from love, and your perseverance that comes from hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father. Brothers and sisters, you are loved by God, and we know that he has chosen you. We know this because our good news didn’t come to you just in speech but also with power and the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know as well as we do what kind of people we were when we were with you, which was for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord when you accepted the message that came from the Holy Spirit with joy in spite of great suffering. As a result you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The message about the Lord rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia but in every place. The news about your faithfulness to God has spread so that we don’t even need to mention it. People tell us about what sort of welcome we had from you and how you turned to God from idols. As a result, you are serving[b] the living and true God, 10 and you are waiting for his Son from heaven. His Son is Jesus, who is the one he raised from the dead and who is the one who will rescue us from the coming wrath.

Introducción (1,1-10)

Saludo

Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo a la iglesia de los tesalonicenses congregada en el nombre de Dios Padre y de Jesucristo, el Señor. Con ustedes, gracia y paz.

Acción de gracias por el ejemplo de los tesalonicenses

Permanentemente damos gracias a Dios por cada uno de ustedes y los tenemos presentes en nuestras oraciones. Sin cesar recordamos ante Dios, nuestro Padre, qué activa es la fe que ustedes tienen, qué esforzado su amor y qué firme la esperanza que han depositado en nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Sabemos bien, hermanos queridos de Dios, cómo se llevó a cabo la elección de ustedes. Porque el mensaje evangélico que les anunciamos no se redujo a palabras hueras, sino que estuvo acompañado de poder, de Espíritu Santo y de profunda convicción. Bien saben que nuestro comportamiento entre ustedes fue para su bien.

En cuanto a ustedes, siguieron nuestro ejemplo y el del Señor al recibir la palabra en medio de grandes dificultades, pero con la alegría que proporciona el Espíritu Santo. De esta manera se han convertido en un modelo para todos los creyentes de Macedonia y Acaya. Y no sólo en Macedonia y Acaya han hecho resonar la palabra del Señor, sino que su fe en Dios se ha extendido por todas partes, hasta el punto de hacer innecesaria cualquier palabra nuestra. Todos, en efecto, se hacen lenguas de la acogida que nos dispensaron y de cómo se convirtieron a Dios y renunciaron a los ídolos para servir al Dios vivo y verdadero, 10 en espera de que su Hijo Jesús, a quien resucitó triunfante de la muerte, venga desde el cielo y nos libre del castigo que ha de llegar.

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

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

Grace and peace to you.(D)

Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith

We always thank God for all of you(E) and continually mention you in our prayers.(F) We remember before our God and Father(G) your work produced by faith,(H) your labor prompted by love,(I) and your endurance inspired by hope(J) in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For we know, brothers and sisters[b] loved by God,(K) that he has chosen you, because our gospel(L) came to you not simply with words but also with power,(M) with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know(N) how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us(O) and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering(P) with the joy(Q) given by the Holy Spirit.(R) And so you became a model(S) to all the believers in Macedonia(T) and Achaia.(U) The Lord’s message(V) rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere.(W) Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned(X) to God from idols(Y) to serve the living and true God,(Z) 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven,(AA) whom he raised from the dead(AB)—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.(AC)
