¹问安

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

²愿恩惠平安从父　神和主耶稣基督临到你们。

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

³主再来时必施行审判弟兄们，我们应该常常为你们感谢　神，这是合适的。因为你们的信心格外长进，你们众人彼此相爱的心也在增加。

³We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

⁴所以我们在　神的众教会里，亲自夸奖你们，因为你们在所受的一切迫害患难中，仍然存着坚忍和信心。

⁴so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

⁵这正是　神公义判断的明证，使你们可以算是配得上他的国；你们也是为了　神的国而受苦。

⁵a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

⁶　神既然是公义的，主耶稣和他有能力的天使从天上显现在火焰中的时候，就使你们这些受灾难的人，可以和我们同享安息；却以灾难报应那些把灾难加给你们的人。

⁶since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you — trouble,

⁷

⁷and to you who are troubled — rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

⁸又要报应那些不认识　神、不听从我们主耶稣的福音的人。

⁸in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁹当主来的时候，他们要受永远沉沦的惩罚，就是离开主的面和他权能的荣光。在那一天，他要在圣徒身上得着荣耀，又要在所有信徒身上受到尊崇（你们也在他们当中，因为你们信了我们向你们所作的见证）。

⁹who shall suffer justice — destruction age-during — from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

¹⁰

¹⁰when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing — because our testimony was believed among you — in that day;

¹¹因此，我们常常为你们祷告，愿我们的　神看你们是配得上所蒙的召，又用大能成就你们所羡慕的一切良善和信心的工作，

¹¹for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

¹²使我们主耶稣的名，照着我们的　神和主耶稣基督的恩，在你们身上得着荣耀，你们也在他身上得着荣耀。

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