帖撒罗尼迦后书 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
问安
1 保罗、西拉和提摩太，写信给帖撒罗尼迦、在我们的父 神和主耶稣基督里的教会。 2 愿恩惠平安从父 神和主耶稣基督临到你们。
主再来时必施行审判
3 弟兄们，我们应该常常为你们感谢 神，这是合适的。因为你们的信心格外长进，你们众人彼此相爱的心也在增加。 4 所以我们在 神的众教会里，亲自夸奖你们，因为你们在所受的一切迫害患难中，仍然存着坚忍和信心。 5 这正是 神公义判断的明证，使你们可以算是配得上他的国；你们也是为了 神的国而受苦。 6-7 神既然是公义的，主耶稣和他有能力的天使从天上显现在火焰中的时候，就使你们这些受灾难的人，可以和我们同享安息；却以灾难报应那些把灾难加给你们的人。 8 又要报应那些不认识 神、不听从我们主耶稣的福音的人。 9-10 当主来的时候，他们要受永远沉沦的惩罚，就是离开主的面和他权能的荣光。在那一天，他要在圣徒身上得着荣耀，又要在所有信徒身上受到尊崇（你们也在他们当中，因为你们信了我们向你们所作的见证）。 11 因此，我们常常为你们祷告，愿我们的 神看你们是配得上所蒙的召，又用大能成就你们所羡慕的一切良善和信心的工作， 12 使我们主耶稣的名，照着我们的 神和主耶稣基督的恩，在你们身上得着荣耀，你们也在他身上得着荣耀。
帖撒罗尼迦后书 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 我保罗同西拉和提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦属于我们父上帝和主耶稣基督的教会。
2 愿我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安！
感恩与劝勉
3 弟兄姊妹，我们应当为你们常常感谢上帝，这是合宜的，因为你们的信心不断增长，彼此相爱的心也不断增加。 4 因此，我们在上帝的众教会中夸奖你们在各种迫害和患难中的坚忍和信心。 5 你们这种表现正是上帝公义审判的明证，使你们配进上帝的国，你们正在为这国受苦。
6 上帝是公义的，祂必以患难来报应那些迫害你们的人。 7 当主耶稣和祂大能的天使在烈焰中从天上显现时，祂必使你们这些受苦的人和我们同得安慰， 8 惩罚那些不认识上帝、不听从有关我们主耶稣之福音的人。 9 那些人要受的刑罚就是离开主的面和祂荣耀的权能，永远灭亡。 10 主降临的那日，祂要在祂的众圣徒中得到荣耀，使所有的信徒惊叹不已。你们也会在当中，因为你们相信了我们做的见证。
11 因此，我们常常为你们祷告，愿我们的上帝看你们配得祂的呼召，用大能成全你们一切美好的心愿和凭信心所做的工作。 12 这样，按照我们的上帝和主耶稣基督所赐的恩典，主耶稣基督的名便在你们身上得到荣耀，你们也在祂身上得到荣耀。
2 Thessalonians 1
Contemporary English Version
1 (A) From Paul, Silas,[a] and Timothy.
To the church in Thessalonica, the people of God our Father and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 I pray that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!
When Christ Returns
3 My dear friends, we always have good reason to thank God for you, because your faith in God and your love for each other keep growing all the time. 4 This is why we brag about you to all of God's churches. We tell them how patient you are and how you keep on having faith, even though you are going through a lot of trouble and suffering.
5 All this shows that God judges fairly and is making you fit to share in his kingdom for which you are suffering. 6 It is only right for God to punish everyone who is causing you trouble, 7 but he will give you relief from your troubles. God will do the same for us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with his powerful angels 8 and with a flaming fire.
Our Lord Jesus will punish anyone who doesn't know God and won't obey his message. 9 (B) Their punishment will be eternal destruction, and they will be kept far from the presence of our Lord and his glorious strength. 10 This will happen on the day when the Lord returns to be praised and honored by all who have faith in him and belong to him. This includes you, because you believed what we said.
11 God chose you, and we keep praying that God will make you worthy of being his people. We pray for God's power to help you do all the good things you hope to do and your faith makes you want to do. 12 Then, because of the undeserved grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, you will bring honor to the name of our Lord Jesus, and he will bring honor to you.
