帖撒罗尼迦后书 1
问候
1
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 愿恩惠、平安从父 神和主耶稣基督归与你们！
基督再来时的审判
3 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 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 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 神既是公义的，就必将患难报应那加患难给你们的人， 7 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 要报应那不认识 神和那不听从我主耶稣福音的人。 9 他们要受刑罚，就是永远沉沦，离开主的面和他权能的荣光。 10 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 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 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。
2 Thessalonians 1

Thanksgiving
3 We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters,t and rightly so,t because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater.
4 As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring.
Encouragement in Persecution
5 This is evidence of God’s righteous judgment, to make you worthyt of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering.6 For it is rightt for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,7 and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealedt from heaven with his mighty angels.t8 With flaming fire he will mete outtpunishment on those who do not know Gods and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.9 Theyt will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,ts10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admiredt on that day among all who have believed – and you did in fact believe our testimony.t11 And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his callingt and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,
12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according tot the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
