1:1
|
保罗、西拉、提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦在父神和主耶稣基督里的教会。愿恩惠平安归与你们！
|
|
|
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
|
|
1:2
|
我们为你们众人常常感谢神，祷告的时候提到你们，
|
|
|
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;
|
|
1:3
|
在神我们的父面前，不住的记念你们因信心所做的工夫，因爱心所受的劳苦，因盼望我们主耶稣基督所存的忍耐。
|
|
|
remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
|
|
1:4
|
被神所爱的弟兄啊，我知道你们是蒙拣选的；
|
|
|
knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,
|
|
1:5
|
因为我们的福音传到你们那里，不独在乎言语，也在乎权能和圣灵，并充足的信心，正如你们知道、我们在你们那里，为你们的缘故是怎样为人。
|
|
|
how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
|
|
1:6
|
并且你们在大难之中，蒙了圣灵所赐的喜乐，领受真道就效法我们，也效法了主；
|
|
|
And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
|
|
1:7
|
甚至你们作了马其顿和亚该亚所有信主之人的榜样。
|
|
|
so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
|
|
1:8
|
因为主的道从你们那里已经传扬出来。你们向神的信心不但在马其顿和亚该亚，就是在各处也都传开了；所以不用我们说什么话。
|
|
|
For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.
|
|
1:9
|
因为他们自己已经报明我们是怎样进到你们那里，你们是怎样离弃偶像，归向神，要服事那又真又活的神，
|
|
|
For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
|
|
1:10
|
等候他儿子从天降临，就是他从死里复活的，那位救我们脱离将来忿怒的耶稣。
|
|
|
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
