帖撒罗尼迦前书 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
保罗的服事
2 弟兄们，你们自己知道，我们进到你们那里并不是空无果效的； 2 相反，正如你们知道，虽然我们以前在腓立比受了苦、受了凌辱，但是靠着我们的神，我们还是放胆直言，在大争战中把神的福音传给了你们。 3 我们的劝勉不是出于迷惑[a]，不是出于污秽，也不是用诡诈； 4 相反，我们怎样被神考验而受了福音的委托，我们就照样传讲；不是要讨人的喜悦，而是要讨神的喜悦——神是考验我们内心的。 5 实际上，我们从来没有用过谄媚的话，这是你们知道的；也没有怀着贪婪的居心，这是神可以见证的[b]。 6 无论向你们或向其他人，我们也都没有寻求从人来的荣耀。 7 我们身为基督的使徒，虽然可以加给你们重担，但是我们在你们当中成了温柔的[c]，就像哺乳的母亲顾惜自己的儿女那样。 8 我们这样眷爱你们，不仅乐意把神的福音分享给你们，连自己的生命[d]也乐意分享给你们，因为你们成了我们所爱的人。 9 弟兄们，你们记得我们的辛苦和劳碌：我们把神的福音传给你们的时候，我们日夜做工，免得成为你们任何人的负担。 10 你们和神可以见证：我们对你们这些信的人是多么圣洁、公义、无可指责的。 11 正如你们知道我们怎样待你们每一个人，就像父亲待自己的儿女那样； 12 我们鼓励你们，安慰你们，忠告你们，为要你们行事为人配得上那召唤你们进入他国度和荣耀的神。
两种态度
13 我们之所以也不住地感谢神，是因为你们接受了从我们所听的神的话语，没有把它看做人的话语，而是把它看做神的话语接受了；这确实是神的话语，而且它也正在你们这些信的人里面做工。 14 弟兄们，你们效法了犹太地区在基督耶稣里属神的各教会，因为你们也受了自己同胞的苦害，就像他们受了犹太人的苦害那样。 15 这些犹太人不但杀了主耶稣和[e]先知们，也驱逐了我们，并且不讨神的喜悦，又与所有的人作对， 16 阻止我们向外邦人传道使外邦人得救。这样，他们常常积满自己的罪孽，而神的[f]震怒在最后临到了他们身上！
保罗的渴望
17 弟兄们，我们被迫暂时与你们分离——身体分离，心却没有；我们非常渴望并且更加努力要见你们的面， 18 所以我们想要到你们那里去。我保罗确实一再地要去，只是撒旦拦阻了我们。 19 我们主耶稣[g]来临的时候，在主[h]面前，到底谁是我们的盼望、喜乐和所夸耀的冠冕呢？难道不也是你们吗？ 20 的确，你们就是我们的荣耀和喜乐。

1 Thessalonians 2
King James Version
2 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
