帖撒羅尼迦後書 第 1 章

¹保羅、西拉、提摩太寫信給帖撒羅尼迦在神我們的父與主耶穌基督裡的教會。Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

²願恩惠、平安從父神和主耶穌基督歸與你們！Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³弟兄們，我們該為你們常常感謝神，這本是合宜的；因你們的信心格外增長，並且你們眾人彼此相愛的心也都充足。We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

⁴甚至我們在神的各教會裡為你們誇口，都因你們在所受的一切逼迫患難中，仍舊存忍耐和信心。So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

⁵這正是神公義判斷的明證，叫你們可算配得神的國；你們就是為這國受苦。Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

⁶神既是公義的，就必將患難報應那加患難給你們的人；Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

⁷也必使你們這受患難的人與我們同得平安。那時，主耶穌同他有能力的天使從天上在火燄中顯現，And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

⁸要報應那不認識神和那不聽從我主耶穌福音的人。In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

⁹他們要受刑罰，就是永遠沉淪，離開主的面和他權能的榮光。Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

¹⁰這正是主降臨、要在他聖徒的身上得榮耀，又在一切信的人身上顯為希奇的那日子。（我們對你們作的見證，你們也信了。）When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

¹¹因此，我們常為你們禱告，願我們的神看你們配得過所蒙的召，又用大能成就你們一切所羨慕的良善和一切因信心所做的工夫；Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

¹²叫我們主耶穌的名在你們身上得榮耀，你們也在他身上得榮耀，都照著我們的神並主耶穌基督的恩。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 the Lord Jesus Christ.
