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。

  1. 1:10 可怕审判”希腊文是“烈怒”。

From Sha’ul and Silvanus (Sila) and Timotiyos. To the kehillah of the inhabitants of the city of Thessalonika, the kehillah in Hashem, in Elohim HaAv and in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua. Chen v’Chesed Hashem and Shalom Hashem to you.

Hodinu l’Hashem (We give thanks to Hashem) always for all of you, with zikaron (remembrance) during our davening, without ceasing

In our tefillos recalling before our G-d and Avinu your work of emunah, your labor of ahavah (agape), and your perseverance of tikvah in Moshiach Adoneinu Yeshoshua,

Knowing, Achim b’Moshiach ahuvei Hashem (Brothers in Moshiach beloved of G-d), your bechirah (election).

For our Besuras HaGeulah did not come to you in mere locution but indeed in gevurah (miraculous power) and in the Ruach HaKodesh and in full bitachon (confidence), just as you have da’as what sort of men we were among you for your sake.

And you became imitators of us and of Adoneinu, having received the Dvar Hashem (the Word of the L-rd) in much redifah (persecution) with the simcha of the Ruach HaKodesh,

With the result that you became a mofet (portent), even a role model for all the ma’aminim (believers) in the territory of Macedonia [T.N. a Roman province in northern Greece] and in Achaia [T.N. a Roman province of southern Greece].

For from you the Dvar Hashem has resounded not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place to which your emunah in Hashem has gone forth, with the result that we have no need to say anything.

For they themselves (the ma’aminim b’Moshiach in Macedonia and Achaia) are reporting about us, what sort of initial reception we had with you, and how you made teshuva, turning to Hashem from elilim (idols), from avodah zarah (idol worship), turning to worship the Elohim Chayyim and Elohei Emes (the Living G-d and the True G-d),

10 And to expect [Moshiach] Ben Elohim from Shomayim whom Hashem made to stand up in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from the Mesim Yehoshua Moshieynu (our Deliverer) from the Charon Af HaBah (the wrath to come).
