1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the assembly of the Thessalonians which is in YHWH the Father and in the Master Yahushua the Messiah: favour be unto you, and peace, from YHWH our Father, and the Master Yahushua the Messiah.

保罗、西拉、提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦在父 神和主耶稣基督里的教会。愿恩惠、平安归与你们！

2 We give thanks to YHWH always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

我们为你们众人常常感谢 神，祷告的时候提到你们，

3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Master Yahushua the Messiah, in the sight of YHWH and our Father;

在 神—我们的父面前，不住地记念你们因信心所做的工夫，因爱心所受的劳苦，因盼望我们主耶稣基督所存的忍耐。

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of Elohim.

被 神所爱的弟兄啊，我知道你们是蒙拣选的；

5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

因为我们的福音传到你们那里，不独在乎言语，也在乎权能和圣灵，并充足的信心。正如你们知道，我们在你们那里，为你们的缘故是怎样为人。

6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Master, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

并且你们在大难之中，蒙了圣灵所赐的喜乐，领受真道就效法我们，也效法了主；

7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

甚至你们作了马其顿和亚该亚所有信主之人的榜样。

8 For from you sounded out the word of the Master not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward YHWH is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

因为主的道从你们那里已经传扬出来。你们向 神的信心不但在马其顿和亚该亚，就是在各处也都传开了，所以不用我们说什么话。

9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to YHWH from idols to serve the living and true Elohim;

因为他们自己已经报明我们是怎样进到你们那里，你们是怎样离弃偶像，归向 神，要服事那又真又活的 神，

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Yahushua, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

等候他儿子从天降临，就是他从死里复活的—那位救我们脱离将来忿怒的耶稣。
