2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

保罗、西拉、提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦、在 神—我们的父与主耶稣基督里的教会。

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

愿恩惠、平安从父 神和主耶稣基督归与你们！

3 We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

弟兄们，我们该为你们常常感谢 神，这本是合宜的；因你们的信心格外增长，并且你们众人彼此相爱的心也都充足。

4 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

甚至我们在 神的各教会里为你们夸口，都因你们在所受的一切逼迫患难中，仍旧存忍耐和信心。

5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

这正是 神公义判断的明证，叫你们可算配得 神的国；你们就是为这国受苦。

6 For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

神既是公义的，就必将患难报应那加患难给你们的人，

7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

也必使你们这受患难的人与我们同得平安。那时，主耶稣同他有能力的天使从天上在火焰中显现，

8 punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

要报应那不认识 神和那不听从我主耶稣福音的人。

9 who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

他们要受刑罚，就是永远沉沦，离开主的面和他权能的荣光。 (aiōnios g166)

10 when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

这正是主降临、要在他圣徒的身上得荣耀、又在一切信的人身上显为希奇的那日子。我们对你们作的见证，你们也信了。

11 To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

因此，我们常为你们祷告，愿我们的 神看你们配得过所蒙的召，又用大能成就你们一切所羡慕的良善和一切因信心所做的工夫，

12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

叫我们主耶稣的名在你们身上得荣耀，你们也在他身上得荣耀，都照着我们的 神并主耶稣基督的恩。
