保罗西拉提摩太,写信给帖撒罗尼迦在神我们的父与主耶稣基督里的教会。 愿恩惠、平安从父神和主耶稣基督归于你们!

保罗为门徒感谢神

弟兄们,我们该为你们常常感谢神,这本是合宜的,因你们的信心格外增长,并且你们众人彼此相爱的心也都充足。 甚至我们在神的各教会里为你们夸口,都因你们在所受的一切逼迫患难中,仍旧存忍耐和信心。 这正是神公义判断的明证,叫你们可算配得神的国,你们就是为这国受苦。 神既是公义的,就必将患难报应那加患难给你们的人, 也必使你们这受患难的人与我们同得平安。那时,主耶稣同他有能力的天使从天上在火焰中显现, 要报应那不认识神和那不听从我主耶稣福音的人。 他们要受刑罚,就是永远沉沦,离开主的面和他权能的荣光。 10 这正是主降临,要在他圣徒的身上得荣耀,又在一切信的人身上显为稀奇的那日子。我们对你们作的见证,你们也信了。

主在门徒身上得荣耀之名

11 因此,我们常为你们祷告,愿我们的神看你们配得过所蒙的召,又用大能成就你们一切所羡慕的良善和一切因信心所做的工夫, 12 叫我们主耶稣的名在你们身上得荣耀,你们也在他身上得荣耀,都照着我们的神并主耶稣基督的恩。

我保羅同西拉和提摩太寫信給帖撒羅尼迦屬於我們父上帝和主耶穌基督的教會。

願我們的父上帝和主耶穌基督賜給你們恩典和平安!

感恩與勸勉

弟兄姊妹,我們應當為你們常常感謝上帝,這是合宜的,因為你們的信心不斷增長,彼此相愛的心也不斷增加。 因此,我們在上帝的眾教會中誇獎你們在各種迫害和患難中的堅忍和信心。 你們這種表現正是上帝公義審判的明證,使你們配進上帝的國,你們正在為這國受苦。

上帝是公義的,祂必以患難來報應那些迫害你們的人。 當主耶穌和祂大能的天使在烈焰中從天上顯現時,祂必使你們這些受苦的人和我們同得安慰, 懲罰那些不認識上帝、不聽從有關我們主耶穌之福音的人。 那些人要受的刑罰就是離開主的面和祂榮耀的權能,永遠滅亡。 10 主降臨的那日,祂要在祂的眾聖徒中得到榮耀,使所有的信徒驚歎不已。你們也會在當中,因為你們相信了我們做的見證。

11 因此,我們常常為你們禱告,願我們的上帝看你們配得祂的呼召,用大能成全你們一切美好的心願和憑信心所做的工作。 12 這樣,按照我們的上帝和主耶穌基督所賜的恩典,主耶穌基督的名便在你們身上得到榮耀,你們也在祂身上得到榮耀。

Greetings from Paul

This letter is from Paul, Silas,[a] and Timothy.

We are writing to the church in Thessalonica, to you who belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

May God our Father[b] and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Encouragement during Persecution

Dear brothers and sisters,[c] we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing. We proudly tell God’s other churches about your endurance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and hardships you are suffering. And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering. In his justice he will pay back those who persecute you.

And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with eternal destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power. 10 When he comes on that day, he will receive glory from his holy people—praise from all who believe. And this includes you, for you believed what we told you about him.

11 So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 12 Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.[d]
