1 Paul,3972 and Silvanus,4610 and Timotheus,5095 to the church1577 of the Thessalonians2331 which is in God2316 the Father3962 and in the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ:5547 Grace5485 be to you, and peace,1515 from God2316 our Father,3962 and the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

2 We give thanks2168 to God2316 always3842 for you all,3956 making4160 mention3417 of you in our prayers;4335

4 Knowing,1492 brothers80 beloved,25 your5216 election1589 of God.2316

5 For our gospel2098 came1096 not to you in word3056 only,3440 but also2532 in power,1411 and in the Holy40 Ghost,4151 and in much4183 assurance;4136 as you know1492 what3634 manner3634 of men we were among1722 you for your5209 sake.

6 And you became1096 followers3402 of us, and of the Lord,2962 having received1209 the word3056 in much4183 affliction,2347 with joy5479 of the Holy40 Ghost.4151

7 So5620 that you were ensamples5179 to all3956 that believe4100 in Macedonia3109 and Achaia.882

8 For from you sounded1837 out the word3056 of the Lord2962 not only3440 in Macedonia3109 and Achaia,882 but also2532 in every3956 place5117 your5216 faith4102 to God-ward4314 2316 is spread1831 abroad;1831 so5620 that we need2192 5532 not to speak2980 any5100 thing.

9 For they themselves846 show518 of us what3697 manner3697 of entering1529 in we had2192 to you, and how4459 you turned1994 to God2316 from idols1497 to serve1398 the living2198 and true228 God;2316

10 And to wait362 for his Son5207 from heaven,3772 whom3739 he raised1453 from the dead,3498 even Jesus,2424 which3588 delivered4506 us from the wrath3709 to come.2064

帖撒羅尼迦前書

第1章

1 保羅、西拉、提摩太,寫信給帖撒羅尼迦在父神和[in]主耶穌基督裏的教會;願恩典[Grace]平安從神我們的父並主耶穌基督[from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ]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[and]我們的父[sight]前,不住的記念你們因信心所作的工作[work],因愛心所受的勞苦,因盼望我們主耶穌基督所存的忍耐;

4 親愛的[beloved]弟兄啊,我知道你們是蒙神揀選[election of God]的;

5 因為我們的福音傳到你們那裏,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、我們在你們那裏,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 這樣[So that],你們就作了[were]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裏已經傳揚出來。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 因為他們自己已經指明[shew]我們是怎樣進到你們那裏,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,就是他從死裏復活的─那位救我們脫離將來忿怒的耶穌。
