帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
保罗在帖撒罗尼迦的工作
2 兄弟们，你们自己知道，我们对你们的访问不是一个失败。 2 而是正如你们所知的那样，我们以前在腓立比遭受了痛苦与侮辱，但是，在上帝的帮助下，我们恢复了勇气，顶住了强大的阻力，向你们宣讲了上帝的福音。 3 的确，我们传教的目的不是出于欺骗和不纯的动机，也不是企图愚弄任何人。 4 相反，做为得到上帝称赞的人，我们受到传播福音的委托，因此要讲话。我们不是在企图讨好凡人，而是要让检验我们动机的上帝满意。 5 正如你们所知，在你们面前，我们从未用过奉承的语言，也从未以传教为借口来掩盖贪婪，上帝就是我们的证人！ 6 我们也没有寻求人们的称赞，无论是你们的，还是其他人的。
7 尽管我们做为基督的使徒 [a]可以对你们发号施令，但是我们在你们中间却很和气 [b]，就像母亲慈爱地照顾孩子一样。 8 由于我们对你们深厚的爱，我们不但愿意与你们分享上帝的福音，甚至愿意为你们献出我们的生命，因为你们对我们是如此地珍贵。 9 兄弟们，要记住我们的辛苦和艰难。我们在向你们传播上帝的福音时，日以继夜地辛劳，为的是不给你们任何人增添负担。
10 你们是见证人，上帝也是见证人。我们和你们这些信徒在一起时的行为是虔诚、正义和无可指责的。 11 正如你们熟知的一样，我们待你们每一个人，就像父亲待自己的子女那样。 12 我们鼓励你们，安慰你们，督促要使你们的生活方式令召唤你们进入他的王国和荣耀的上帝满意。
13 为此，我们也要继续感谢上帝，因为当你们领受到从我们这里听到的上帝的信息时，你们领受的不是人的信息，而实际上是上帝的信息，这信息在信徒中工作着。 14 兄弟们，你们应该以在犹太信仰基督耶稣的上帝的教会为榜样，因为你们都遭遇了同样的患难，就像你们一样，他们也从自己的犹太同胞那里遭受到了苦难。 15 这些犹太人杀害了主耶稣和先知，把我们赶出家园，他们不但没有令上帝满意，而且也在与全人类为敌。 16 他们企图阻止我们教导非教徒，不让他们得到拯救的信息。他们不断地犯罪，几乎到了恶贯满盈的地步，上帝的愤怒现在终于彻底地降临到他们身上了。
保罗希望再次访问他们
17 至于我们，兄弟们，我们与你们暂时分别一段时间，（这只是身体上的分离，但在思想上却没有分开），我们迫切地期待着见到你们。 18 我们曾努力要来拜访你们。的确，我，保罗，不止一次要去探望你们，但都受到了撒旦的阻挠。 19 当我们的主耶稣基督来临时，你们难道不是我们的希望、快乐和我们为此骄傲的桂冠吗？ 20 你们是我们的荣耀和快乐。

1 Thessalonians 2
King James Version
2 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
1 Thessalonians 2
English Standard Version
Paul's Ministry to the Thessalonians
2 For you yourselves know, brothers,[a] that our (A)coming to you (B)was not in vain. 2 But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated (C)at Philippi, as you know, (D)we had boldness in our God (E)to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much (F)conflict. 3 For (G)our appeal does not spring from (H)error or (I)impurity or (J)any attempt to deceive, 4 but just as we have been approved by God (K)to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not (L)to please man, but to please God (M)who tests our hearts. 5 (N)For we never came with words of flattery,[b] as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—(O)God is witness. 6 (P)Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, (Q)though we could have made (R)demands as (S)apostles of Christ. 7 But we were (T)gentle[c] among you, (U)like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. 8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God (V)but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
9 For you remember, brothers, (W)our labor and toil: we (X)worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 10 You are witnesses, and (Y)God also, (Z)how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. 11 For you know how, (AA)like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and (AB)charged (AC)you to walk in a manner worthy of God, (AD)who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 And (AE)we also thank God constantly[d] for this, that when you received (AF)the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it (AG)not as the word of men[e] but as what it really is, the word of God, (AH)which is at work in you believers. 14 For you, brothers, (AI)became imitators of (AJ)the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For (AK)you suffered the same things from your own countrymen (AL)as they did from the Jews,[f] 15 (AM)who killed both the Lord Jesus and (AN)the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and (AO)oppose all mankind 16 (AP)by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always (AQ)to fill up the measure of their sins. But (AR)wrath has come upon them at last![g]
Paul's Longing to See Them Again
17 But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, (AS)in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire (AT)to see you face to face, 18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan (AU)hindered us. 19 For what is our hope or (AV)joy or crown of boasting (AW)before our Lord Jesus at his (AX)coming? Is it not you? 20 For you are our glory and joy.
