Greeting

1Paul, ^(A)Silvanus, and Timothy,

The Thessalonians' Faith and Example

²^(D)We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly^[a] ^(E)mentioning you in our prayers, ³remembering before ^(F)our God and Father ^(G)your work of faith and labor of ^(H)love and ^(I)steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴For we know, ^(J)brothers^[b] loved by God, ^(K)that he has chosen you, ⁵because ^(L)our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and ^(M)in the Holy Spirit and with full ^(N)conviction. You know ^(O)what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. ⁶And ^(P)you became imitators of us ^(Q)and of the Lord, for ^(R)you received the word in much affliction, ^(S)with the ^(T)joy of the Holy Spirit, ⁷so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸For not only has the word of the Lord ^(U)sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth ^(V)everywhere, so that we need not say anything. ⁹For they themselves report concerning us the kind of ^(W)reception we had among you, and how ^(X)you turned to God ^(Y)from idols to serve the living and ^(Z)true God, ¹⁰and ^(AA)to wait for his Son ^(AB)from heaven, ^(AC)whom he raised from the dead, Jesus ^(AD)who delivers us from ^(AE)the wrath to come.

1保羅、西拉、提摩太寫信給帖撒羅尼迦在父神和主耶穌基督裡的教會。願恩惠平安歸與你們！

²我們為你們眾人常常感謝神，禱告的時候提到你們，

³在神我們的父面前，不住的記念你們因信心所做的工夫，因愛心所受的勞苦，因盼望我們主耶穌基督所存的忍耐。

⁴被神所愛的弟兄阿，我知道你們是蒙揀選的；

⁵因為我們的福音傳到你們那裡，不獨在乎言語，也在乎權能和聖靈，並充足的信心，正如你們知道、我們在你們那裡，為你們的緣故是怎樣為人。

⁶並且你們在大難之中，蒙了聖靈所賜的喜樂，領受真道就效法我們，也效法了主；

⁷甚至你們作了馬其頓和亞該亞所有信主之人的榜樣。

⁸因為主的道從你們那裡已經傳揚出來。你們向神的信心不但在馬其頓和亞該亞，就是在各處也都傳開了；所以不用我們說甚麼話。

⁹因為他們自己已經報明我們是怎樣進到你們那裡，你們是怎樣離棄偶像，歸向神，要服事那又真又活的神，

¹⁰等候他兒子從天降臨，就是他從死裡復活的 ─ 那位救我們脫離將來忿怒的耶穌。
