帖撒羅尼迦前書

第3章

1 余不能忍、願自留雅典、

2 遣我兄弟提摩太、卽上帝僕與我同勞、傳基督福音、俾爾堅定、爲爾信生而慰爾、

3 勿爲患難所動、爾知分定故也、

4 我素偕爾預備、我儕必受難、後果如是、此爾所知、

5 放我不能忍、遣人欲知爾之信主、恐試者惑爾、而我徒勞、

6 今提摩太由爾反、報我嘉昔、言爾信愛主、緬懷我、常欲見我、如我之欲見爾、

7 故我患難顛沛中、念兄弟信主爲爾受慰、

8 爾宗主堅立、我則生矣、

9 我在上帝前、線爾喜甚、將何以祝謝上帝乎、

10 我晝夜祈禱、甚欲見爾、補爾信主之不遠、

11 願吾父上帝、及我主耶穌基督、賜我坦然至爾、

12 又願主使爾敦友誼、汎愛衆、猶我之愛爾、

13 亦堅爾心、無疵可摘、成聖於吾父上帝前、迨吾主耶穌基督、儅諸聖徒臨日。

1 Thessalonians

Chapter 3

1 Why1352 when we could no3371 longer3371 forbear,4722 we thought2106 it good2106 to be left2641 at1722 Athens116 alone;3441

2 And sent3992 Timotheus,5095 our brother,80 and minister1249 of God,2316 and our fellow laborer4904 in the gospel2098 of Christ,5547 to establish4741 you, and to comfort3870 you concerning4012 your5216 faith:4102

3 That no3367 man3367 should be moved4525 by these5025 afflictions:2347 for yourselves846 know1492 that we are appointed2749 thereunto.1519 5124

4 For truly,2532 when3753 we were with you, we told4302 you before4302 that we should3195 suffer tribulation;2346 even2532 as it came1096 to pass, and you know.1492

5 For this5124 cause,1223 when I could no3371 longer3371 forbear,4722 I sent375 to know1097 your5216 faith,4102 lest3381 by some3381 means4458 the tempter3985 have tempted3985 you, and our labor2873 be in vain.2756

6 But now737 when Timotheus5095 came2064 from you to us, and brought2097 us good2097 tidings2097 of your5216 faith4102 and charity,26 and that you have2192 good18 remembrance3417 of us always,3842 desiring1971 greatly1971 to see1492 us, as we also2532 to see you:

7 Therefore,1223 5125 brothers,80 we were comforted3870 over1909 you in all3956 our affliction2347 and distress318 by your5216 faith:4102

8 For now3568 we live,2198 if1437 you stand4739 fast in the Lord.2962

9 For what5101 thanks2169 can1410 we render467 to God2316 again467 for you, for all3956 the joy5479 with which3739 we joy5463 for your5209 sakes before1715 our God;2316

10 Night3571 and day2250 praying1189 exceedingly5228 that we might see1492 your5216 face,4383 and might perfect2675 that which is lacking5303 in your5216 faith?4102

11 Now1161 God2316 himself846 and our Father,3962 and our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 direct2720 our way3598 to you.

12 And the Lord2962 make4121 you to increase4121 and abound4052 in love25 one240 toward1519 another,240 and toward1519 all3956 men, even2532 as we do toward1519 you:

13 To the end1519 he may establish4741 your5216 hearts2588 blameless299 in holiness42 before1715 God,2316 even2532 our Father,3962 at1722 the coming3952 of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 with all3956 his saints.40
