帖撒罗尼迦前书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
保罗因门徒稳固感谢神
3 我们既不能再忍，就愿意独自等在雅典， 2 打发我们的兄弟——在基督福音上做神执事的[a]提摩太前去，坚固你们，并在你们所信的道上劝慰你们， 3 免得有人被诸般患难摇动。因为你们自己知道，我们受患难原是命定的。 4 我们在你们那里的时候，预先告诉你们我们必受患难，以后果然应验了，你们也知道。 5 为此，我既不能再忍，就打发人去，要晓得你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的到底诱惑了你们，叫我们的劳苦归于徒然。 6 但提摩太刚才从你们那里回来，将你们信心和爱心的好消息报给我们，又说你们常常记念我们，切切地想见我们，如同我们想见你们一样。 7 所以弟兄们，我们在一切困苦患难之中，因着你们的信心就得了安慰。 8 你们若靠主站立得稳，我们就活了。 9 我们在神面前，因着你们甚是喜乐，为这一切喜乐，可用何等的感谢为你们报答神呢！ 10 我们昼夜切切地祈求，要见你们的面，补满你们信心的不足。
代门徒祷告
11 愿神我们的父和我们的主耶稣，一直引领我们到你们那里去！ 12 又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心并爱众人的心，都能增长、充足，如同我们爱你们一样， 13 好使你们当我们主耶稣同他众圣徒来的时候，在我们父神面前心里坚固，成为圣洁，无可责备！

帖撒羅尼迦前書 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
3 最後我們無法再忍受思念之苦，就決定我們這些人留在雅典， 2 派提摩太去你們那裡。他在傳揚基督福音的事工上是我們的弟兄、上帝的同工。他去是要鼓勵你們，使你們信心堅定， 3 免得有人因遭受這些患難而動搖，因為你們知道我們必遭受患難。 4 我們在你們那裡時曾預先告訴過你們，我們會遭遇患難，你們知道後來果然如此。 5 因此，我無法再等下去了，就派提摩太到你們那裡看看你們的信心如何，免得那誘惑人的誘惑了你們，使我們的心血都白費了。
喜聞佳訊
6 現在，提摩太剛從你們那裡回來，把有關你們信心和愛心的好消息告訴了我們。他說你們常常思念我們，很想見到我們，就像我們渴望見到你們一樣。 7 弟兄姊妹，你們的信心使我們在萬般困苦和患難中得到了激勵。 8 得知你們靠著主堅定不移，我們現在感到振奮。 9 你們使我們在上帝面前感到非常喜樂，我們該怎樣為你們感謝上帝呢！ 10 我們晝夜懇切禱告，渴望能見到你們，彌補你們信心的不足之處。
11 願我們的父上帝和我們的主耶穌引領我們到你們那裡。 12 願主使你們彼此之間的愛和對他人的愛一齊增長，甚至滿溢出來，就像我們愛你們一樣。 13 這樣，當我們的主耶穌帶著祂的眾聖徒再來時，你們可以在我們的父上帝面前心裡剛強，完全聖潔，無可指責。
1 Thessalonians 3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 1 Therefore, bearing[a] it no longer, we preferred[b] to be left-behind in Athens alone, 2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and a fellow-worker of God in[c] the good-news of Christ, so that he might establish[d] you and encourage you concerning your faith, 3 that no one might be disturbed[e] by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed[f] for this. 4 For even when we were with you, we were telling you beforehand that we were going to be afflicted, just as indeed it happened, and just as you know. 5 For this reason, and I bearing it no longer, I sent Timothy so as to know your faith— that the one tempting had not somehow tempted you and our labor proved-to-be in vain[g].
Timothy Now Returned With Encouraging News About Your Faith And Love. I Am Rejoicing!
6 And Timothy having just-now[h] come to us from you, and having announced-the-good-news to us as to your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always[i], yearning to see us just as we also you— 7 because of this, brothers, we were encouraged over you in all our distress and affliction, through your faith. 8 Because now we live!— if you are standing-firm in the Lord. 9 For what thanksgiving can we return[j] to God for you for all the joy with which we are-rejoicing[k] because of you before our God?— 10 while praying super-abundantly by night and by day that we may see your face and complete the things lacking from your faith.
May God And Our Lord Jesus Guide Our Ways And Cause Us To Abound In Love
11 Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. 12 And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another and for everyone (just as we also for you), 13 so that He may establish your hearts so as to be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy[l] ones. Amen.
