2 Thessalonians 1

1 This letter comes from Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians who belong to 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 May you have grace and peace from God the 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 keep on thanking God for you, brothers and sisters—we just have to! This is the right thing to do because your trust in God is growing in leaps and bounds, and the love you all have for each other increases more and more.

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 We speak so proudly of you among the churches of God because of your patient courage and trust in God during all the persecution and trouble you're going through.

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 For this is evidence that God is right in the decisions he makes, and that you deserve the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.

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 Since God does what's right he will deal appropriately with those who cause you trouble.

神既是公义的，就必将患难报应那加患难给你们的人，

7 He will free you from your suffering—and us too—when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels,

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 bringing judgment on those who reject God and refuse to accept 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 They will rightly experience the consequence of eternal loss, separated from the presence of the Lord and his glorious power, (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 on the day when he comes to receive glory from his people, admired by all those who trust in him. This includes you because you were convinced about what we told you.

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 That's why we continue to pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of what he's called us to do. May God powerfully fulfill every desire you have to do good and every action that comes from trusting him

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 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be honored by what you do—and in turn you are honored by him through 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。
