帖撒罗尼迦前书 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
派提摩太前往
3 我们既然不能再忍下去，就决定留在雅典， 2 派我们的弟兄，就是在基督的福音上和 神同工的提摩太去，为了要在你们的信仰上坚定你们，劝慰你们， 3 免得有人在各样的患难中动摇了。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，早已对你们说过，我们将会遭受患难。后来应验了，这是你们知道的。 5 因此，我既然不能再忍下去，就派人去打听你们的信心怎样；恐怕那试探人的诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦白费了。
6 提摩太刚刚从你们那里回来，把你们信心和爱心的好消息带给我们。他还说，你们常常怀念我们，切切想见我们，好象我们想见你们一样。 7 所以弟兄们，我们在这一切困苦患难中，因着你们的信心就得了安慰。 8 如果你们在主里站立得稳，我们就可以活下去了。 9 我们因你们的缘故，在我们的 神面前满有喜乐；为这一切喜乐，我们可以为你们向 神献上怎么样的感谢呢！ 10 我们昼夜迫切祈求，要见你们的面，并且要补满你们信心的不足。
11 愿我们的父 神自己和我们的主耶稣为我们开路，使我们可以到你们那里去。 12 又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心，和爱众人的心，都充充足足，多而又多，好象我们爱你们一样。 13 也愿他坚定你们的心，好叫你们在我们主耶稣和众圣徒再来的时候，在我们的父 神面前，完全圣洁，无可指摘。
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。
Kehillah in Thessalonika I 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we resolved to be left behind alone in Athens.
2 Also we sent Timotiyos, acheinu and fellow po’el of Hashem in the Besuras HaGeulah of Moshiach. We sent Timotiyos in order to give you chozek (strength) and to speak divrei chizzuk to you on behalf of our [orthodox Jewish] Emunah [of the true Dat haYehudit].
3 This was for the tachlis that no one be unsettled because of ES TZARAH. For you yourselves have da’as that we have a divine calendar date with ES TZARAH.
4 For, hinei, when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were going to suffer redifah, just as also it came to pass, of which you have da’as.
5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent in order to know your emunah, lest somehow [Hasatan Samma’el] the Tempter [HaMenasseh] had ensnared you by nissayon and our labor should be for nothing.
6 But, just now, when Timotiyos has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your [correct orthodox Jewish] Emunah and your ahavah and that you always have zochrim tovim (good memories) of us, yearning to see us, just as we yearn to see you.
7 For this reason, Achim b’Moshiach, in all our tzoros and redifah, we received chozek because of you through your emunah.
8 For now we have Chayyim if you have a firm standing and remain ne’emanot (faithful) in Hashem.
9 For what hodayah are we able to return to Hashem concerning you because of all the simcha with which we rejoice on account of you before Eloheinu,
10 As, yomam valailah, we are davening with all retzinut (earnestness) in order to see your penemer (faces) and to bring to shleimut what is lacking in your [orthodox Jewish] emunah?
11 And may Eloheinu and Avinu, may Hashem Himself and Adoneinu Yehoshua direct our way to you.
12 And may Hashem cause you to grow and to overflow and abound in ahavah (agape) for one another and for kol Bnei Adam, just as also we have ahavah (agape) for you,
13 With this tachlis (purpose): to establish your levavot faultless in kedushah (holiness) in the presence of Hashem and Avinu at the Bi’as Moshiach (Coming of Moshiach) of Adoneinu Yehoshua with all His Kadoshim. Omein.
1 Thessalonians 3
J.B. Phillips New Testament
3 1-5 And so at length, when the separation became intolerable, we thought the best plan was for me to stay in Athens alone, while Timothy, our brother and fellow-worker in the Gospel of Christ, was sent to strengthen and encourage you in your faith. We did not want any of you to lose heart at the troubles you were going through, but to realise that we Christians must expect such things. Actually we did warn you what to expect, when we were with you, and our words have come true, as you know. You will understand that, when the suspense became unbearable, I sent someone to find out how your faith was standing the strain, and to make sure that the tempter’s activities had not destroyed our work.
The good news about you is a tonic to us
6-10 But now that Timothy has just come straight from you to us—with a glowing account of your faith and love, and definite news that you cherish happy memories of us and long to see us as much as we to see you—how these things have cheered us in all the miseries and troubles we ourselves are going through. To know that you are standing fast in the Lord is indeed a breath of life to us. How can we thank our God enough for all the joy you give us as we serve him, praying earnestly day and night to see you again, and to complete whatever is imperfect in your faith?
This is our prayer for you
11-13 So may God our Father himself and our Lord Jesus Christ guide our steps to you. May the Lord give you the same increasing and overflowing love for each other and towards all men as we have towards you. May he establish you, holy and blameless in heart and soul, before himself, the Father of us all, when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all who belong to him.
