帖撒罗尼迦后书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 保羅、西拉和提摩太，寫信給帖撒羅尼迦、在我們的父 神和主耶穌基督裡的教會。 2 願恩惠平安從父 神和主耶穌基督臨到你們。
主再來時必施行審判
3 弟兄們，我們應該常常為你們感謝 神，這是合適的。因為你們的信心格外長進，你們眾人彼此相愛的心也在增加。 4 所以我們在 神的眾教會裡，親自誇獎你們，因為你們在所受的一切迫害患難中，仍然存著堅忍和信心。 5 這正是 神公義判斷的明證，使你們可以算是配得上他的國；你們也是為了 神的國而受苦。 6-7 神既然是公義的，主耶穌和他有能力的天使從天上顯現在火燄中的時候，就使你們這些受災難的人，可以和我們同享安息；卻以災難報應那些把災難加給你們的人。 8 又要報應那些不認識 神、不聽從我們主耶穌的福音的人。 9-10 當主來的時候，他們要受永遠沉淪的懲罰，就是離開主的面和他權能的榮光。在那一天，他要在聖徒身上得著榮耀，又要在所有信徒身上受到尊崇（你們也在他們當中，因為你們信了我們向你們所作的見證）。 11 因此，我們常常為你們禱告，願我們的 神看你們是配得上所蒙的召，又用大能成就你們所羨慕的一切良善和信心的工作， 12 使我們主耶穌的名，照著我們的 神和主耶穌基督的恩，在你們身上得著榮耀，你們也在他身上得著榮耀。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 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。
2 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
3 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。 4 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。 5 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。
6 上帝是公義的，祂必以患難來報應那些迫害你們的人。 7 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， 8 懲罰那些不認識上帝、不聽從有關我們主耶穌之福音的人。 9 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。
2 Thessalonians 1
1599 Geneva Bible
The Second Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians
1 3 He commendeth the increase of faith and charity, 4 and the patience of the Thessalonians: 6 And describing God’s vengeance against such as oppress the godly, 10 he teacheth the godly to wait for the last judgment.
1 Paul and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God our Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 (A)[a]We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith [b]groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you toward another, aboundeth,
4 So that we ourselves rejoice of you in the Churches of God, because of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye suffer.
5 (B)[c]Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the which ye also suffer.
6 [d]For it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you,
7 And to you which are troubled, rest [e]with us, (C)[f]when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven with his mighty Angels,
8 In flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them, [g]that do not know God, and which obey not unto the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,
9 Which shall be punished with everlasting perdition from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his Saints, and to be made marvelous in all them that believe ([h]because our testimony toward you was believed) in that day.
11 [i]Wherefore, we also pray always for you, that our God may make you worthy of [j]this calling, and fulfill [k]all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the [l]work of faith with power.
12 That the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Footnotes
- 2 Thessalonians 1:3 The first part of the Epistle, wherein he rejoiceth that through the grace of God, they have manfully sustained all the assaults of their enemies, wherein he confirmeth them moreover showing with what gifts they must chiefly fight, to wit, with faith and charity, which must daily increase.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:3 That whereas it grew us before, it doth also receive some increase every day more and more.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:5 He openeth the fountain of all true comfort, to wit, that in afflictions, which we suffer of the wicked for righteousness sake, we may behold as it were in a glass the testimony of that judgment to come, and the end therefore most acceptable to us, and most sharp to his enemies.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:6 A proof: God is just, therefore he will worthily punish the unjust, and will do away the miseries of his people.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:7 He confirmeth them also by the way, by this means, that the condition both of this present state and the state to come, is common to him with them.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:7 A most glorious description of the second coming of Christ, to be set against all the miseries of the godly, and the triumphs of the wicked.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:8 There is no knowledge of God unto salvation, without the Gospel of Christ.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:10 The children of God shall be counted by the faith which they have in the Gospel, which is preached unto them by the Apostles.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Seeing that we have the mark set before us, it remaineth that we go unto it. And we go to it, by certain degrees of causes: first by the free love and good pleasure of God, by virtue whereof all other inferior causes work: from thence proceedeth the free calling to Christ, and from calling, faith, whereupon followeth both the glorifying of Christ in us, and us in Christ.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 By (calling) he meaneth not the very act of calling, but that selfsame thing whereunto we are called, which is the glory of that heavenly kingdom.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Which he determined long since, only upon his gracious and merciful goodness toward you.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 So then, faith is an excellent work of God in us: and we see here plainly that the Apostle leaveth nothing to free will, to make it checkmate with God’s working therein, as the Papists dream.
