帖撒罗尼迦前书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
3 最后我们无法再忍受思念之苦,就决定我们这些人留在雅典, 2 派提摩太去你们那里。他在传扬基督福音的事工上是我们的弟兄、上帝的同工。他去是要鼓励你们,使你们信心坚定, 3 免得有人因遭受这些患难而动摇,因为你们知道我们必遭受患难。 4 我们在你们那里时曾预先告诉过你们,我们会遭遇患难,你们知道后来果然如此。 5 因此,我无法再等下去了,就派提摩太到你们那里看看你们的信心如何,免得那诱惑人的诱惑了你们,使我们的心血都白费了。
喜闻佳讯
6 现在,提摩太刚从你们那里回来,把有关你们信心和爱心的好消息告诉了我们。他说你们常常思念我们,很想见到我们,就像我们渴望见到你们一样。 7 弟兄姊妹,你们的信心使我们在万般困苦和患难中得到了激励。 8 得知你们靠着主坚定不移,我们现在感到振奋。 9 你们使我们在上帝面前感到非常喜乐,我们该怎样为你们感谢上帝呢! 10 我们昼夜恳切祷告,渴望能见到你们,弥补你们信心的不足之处。
11 愿我们的父上帝和我们的主耶稣引领我们到你们那里。 12 愿主使你们彼此之间的爱和对他人的爱一齐增长,甚至满溢出来,就像我们爱你们一样。 13 这样,当我们的主耶稣带着祂的众圣徒再来时,你们可以在我们的父上帝面前心里刚强,完全圣洁,无可指责。
帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
3 因此,当我们再也等不下去的时候,就决定留在雅典, 2 而派提摩太到你们那里去了。他是我们的兄弟,是和我们一起为上帝传播基督福音的同事。我们派他去是为了加强和鼓舞你们的信仰, 3 免得有人受到目前的困难干扰,因为你们自己知道我们注定会遇到困难。 4 实际上,我们和你们在一起时就一直告诉你们,我们会遇到困难的。正像你们所知的那样,情况果然如此。 5 所以,我再也不能等了,便派提摩太去了你们那里,为了是要了解你们的信仰。因为我害怕你们受魔鬼的诱惑,使我们的工作成为徒劳。
6 但是,提摩太从帖撒罗尼迦你们那里回来,给我们带来了有关你们的信仰和爱的好消息,他告诉我们你们总是对我们怀着愉快的记忆,并且渴望见到我们,就像我们渴望想见到你们一样。 7 因此,兄弟们,我们在一切危难和困苦中,由于你们的信仰而受到鼓舞。 8 我们知道你们对主的信仰坚定不移,我们现在才得以真正地活着。 9 因为你们,我们在上帝面前充满了欢乐,我们对上帝感激不尽。 10 我们日夜恳切地祈祷,希望能亲眼再见到你们,为你们提供加强你们信仰所需要的一切。
11 愿我们父上帝和我们的主耶稣给我们指引通向你们的道路。 12 愿主使你们对彼此和所有人的爱,与日俱增、日益丰富,就像我们对你们洋溢着的爱心一样。 13 这样,他就会加强你们的信心,使你们在我们主耶稣和他所有的神圣天使再次降临时,在你们父上帝面前,神圣并无可指摘。 [a]

1 Thessalonians 3
World English Bible
3 Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone, 2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith, 3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task. 4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know. 5 For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you. 7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith. 8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. 9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God, 10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. 12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you, 13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
1 Thessalonicenzen 3
Het Boek
Het bezoek van Timotheüs aan Thessalonica
3 Ten slotte kon ik het niet langer uithouden. Het leek mij het beste om zelf alleen in Athene achter te blijven 2 en onze broeder Timotheüs naar u toe te sturen. Hij is een medewerker van God in de verbreiding van het goede nieuws van Christus. Ik heb hem gevraagd u te versterken en te bemoedigen 3 om te voorkomen dat deze moeilijkheden u van het geloof zouden afbrengen. Maar u weet natuurlijk wel dat zulke dingen een deel zijn van Gods plan met ons. 4 Want toen wij nog bij u waren, hebben wij u van tevoren gewaarschuwd dat wij moeilijkheden zouden krijgen, en dat is uitgekomen. 5 Toen ik dus de onzekerheid niet langer kon verdragen, stuurde ik Timotheüs naar u toe om te zien hoe het met uw geloof was. Want ik zou het vreselijk vinden als de verleider, de duivel, u had verleid en al ons werk voor niets zou zijn geweest.
6 Nu is Timotheüs net teruggekomen met het goede nieuws dat uw geloof en liefde niet verflauwd zijn. Hij vertelde ons ook dat u nog steeds met vreugde aan ons bezoek terugdenkt en even sterk naar ons verlangt als wij naar u. 7 U zult wel begrijpen, broeders en zusters, wat een geruststelling uw geloof voor ons is, nu wij zoveel moeite en zorgen hebben. 8 Wij kunnen alles verdragen, zolang wij maar weten dat u zich niet van uw trouw aan de Here laat afbrengen. 9 Hoe kunnen wij God ooit genoeg voor u danken en voor de blijdschap die u ons in onze gebeden geeft? 10 Dag en nacht bidden wij vurig voor u en smeken wij God u weer te mogen zien om mee te werken aan de versterking van uw geloof. 11 Wat zou ik het fijn vinden als God, onze Vader, en onze Here Jezus ervoor zorgden dat wij bij u konden komen! 12 Het is onze grote wens dat de Here uw liefde voor elkaar en voor anderen zal laten groeien en overvloeien, net als onze liefde voor u.
13 Mijn gebed voor u is dat onze God en Vader uw geloof sterk zal maken, zodat u op de dag waarop de Here Jezus terugkomt met allen die bij Hem horen, sterk, zuiver en heilig zult zijn.
1 Thessalonians 3
New International Version
3 So when we could stand it no longer,(A) we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.(B) 2 We sent Timothy,(C) who is our brother and co-worker(D) in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ,(E) to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials.(F) For you know quite well that we are destined for them.(G) 4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.(H) 5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer,(I) I sent to find out about your faith.(J) I was afraid that in some way the tempter(K) had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.(L)
Timothy’s Encouraging Report
6 But Timothy(M) has just now come to us from you(N) and has brought good news about your faith and love.(O) He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.(P) 7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm(Q) in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you(R) in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?(S) 10 Night and day we pray(T) most earnestly that we may see you again(U) and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father(V) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(W) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(X) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(Y) when our Lord Jesus comes(Z) with all his holy ones.(AA)
