新约 -- 帖撒罗尼迦前书(1 Thessalonians) -- 第 1 章 ( 本篇共有 5 章 ) 下一章8 目录
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 Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:2我们为你们众人常常感谢神,祷告的时候题到你们。
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作的工夫,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 labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
1:4被神所爱的弟兄阿,我知道你们是蒙拣选的。
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
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。
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among 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 followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
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 were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
1:8因为主的道从你们那里已经传杨出来,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 sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
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 shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the 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, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
