問候

保羅西拉提摩太寫信給帖撒羅尼迦、在我們的父 神與主耶穌基督裏的教會。 願恩惠、平安[a]從我們的[b]父 神和主耶穌基督歸給你們!

基督再來時的審判

弟兄們,我們該常常為你們感謝 神,這本是合宜的;因為你們的信心格外增長,你們眾人彼此相愛的心也都增加。 所以,我們在 神的各教會裏為你們誇耀,因為你們在所受的一切壓迫患難中仍牢守着耐心和信心。

這正是 神公義判斷的明證,使你們配得上他的國,你們就是為這國受苦。 既然 神是公義的,他必以患難報復那加患難給你們的人, 7-8 也必使你們這受患難的人與我們同得平安。那時,主耶穌同他有權能的天使從天上在火焰中顯現,要報應那些不認識 神和不聽從我們的主耶穌福音的人。 他們要受懲罰,永遠沉淪,與主的面和他權能的榮光隔絕。 10 這正是主再來,要在他聖徒的身上得榮耀,就是要使一切信的人感到驚訝的那日子,因為你們信了我們對你們作的見證。 11 為此,我們常為你們禱告,願我們的 神看你們與他的呼召相配,又用大能成就你們一切良善的美意和因信心所做的工作, 12 使我們主耶穌的名,照着我們的 神和主耶穌基督的恩,在你們身上得榮耀,你們也在他身上得榮耀。

Greeting

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

(A)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God’s Final Judgment and Glory

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, so that (B)we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God (C)for your patience and faith (D)in all your persecutions and [a]tribulations that you endure, which is (E)manifest[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, (F)for which you also suffer; (G)since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [c]tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled (H)rest with us when (I)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. (J)These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and (K)from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, (L)to be (M)glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who [d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would (N)count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and (O)the work of faith with power, 12 (P)that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silas[a](A) and Timothy,(B)

To the church of the Thessalonians(C) in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(D)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

We ought always to thank God for you,(E) brothers and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.(F) Therefore, among God’s churches we boast(G) about your perseverance and faith(H) in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.(I)

All this is evidence(J) that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy(K) of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just:(L) He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you(M) and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(N) in blazing fire(O) with his powerful angels.(P) He will punish(Q) those who do not know God(R) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(S) They will be punished with everlasting destruction(T) and shut out from the presence of the Lord(U) and from the glory of his might(V) 10 on the day(W) he comes to be glorified(X) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.(Y)

11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,(Z) that our God may make you worthy(AA) of his calling,(AB) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness(AC) and your every deed prompted by faith.(AD) 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,(AE) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[c]
