问候

保罗、西拉和提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦、在我们的父上帝与主耶稣基督里的教会。 2 愿恩惠、平安t从我们的t父上帝和主耶稣基督归给你们!
基督再来时的审判
3 弟兄们,我们该常常为你们感谢上帝,这本是合宜的;因为你们的信心格外增长,你们众人彼此相爱的心也都增加。 4 所以,我们在上帝的各教会里为你们夸耀,因为你们在所受的一切压迫患难中仍牢守着耐心和信心。
5 这正是上帝公义判断的明证,使你们配得上他的国,你们就是为这国受苦。 6 既然上帝是公义的,他必以患难报复那加患难给你们的人, 7-8 也必使你们这受患难的人与我们同得平安。那时,主耶稣同他有权能的天使从天上在火焰中显现,要报应那些不认识上帝和不听从我们的主耶稣福音的人。 9 他们要受惩罚,永远沉沦,与主的面和他权能的荣光隔绝。 10 这正是主再来,要在他圣徒的身上得荣耀,就是要使一切信的人感到惊讶的那日子,因为你们信了我们对你们作的见证。 11 为此,我们常为你们祷告,愿我们的上帝看你们与他的呼召相配,又用大能成就你们一切良善的美意和因信心所做的工作, 12 使我们主耶稣的名,照着我们的上帝和主耶稣基督的恩,在你们身上得荣耀,你们也在他身上得荣耀。
2 THESSALONIANS 1
1 t From Paul, Silas, t and Timothy.
To the church in Thessalonica, the people of God our Father and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 I pray that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!When Christ Returns
3 My dear friends, we always have good reason to thank God for you, because your faith in God and your love for each other keep growing all the time.
4 This is why we brag about you to all of God's churches. We tell them how patient you are and how you keep on having faith, even though you are going through a lot of trouble and suffering.
5 All this shows that God judges fairly and is making you fit to share in his kingdom for which you are suffering. 6 It is only right for God to punish everyone who is causing you trouble, 7 but he will give you relief from your troubles. God will do the same for us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with his powerful angels
8 and with a flaming fire.
Our Lord Jesus will punish anyone who doesn't know God and won't obey his message. 9 t Their punishment will be eternal destruction, and they will be kept far from the presence of our Lord and his glorious strength.
10 This will happen on the day when the Lord returns to be praised and honored by all who have faith in him and belong to him. This includes you, because you believed what we said.
11 God chose you, and we keep praying that God will make you worthy of being his people. We pray for God's power to help you do all the good things you hope to do and your faith makes you want to do. 12 Then, because of the undeserved grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, you will bring honor to the name of our Lord Jesus, and he will bring honor to you.
