| 1:1 | 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。 | Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:2 | 我们为你们众人常常感谢 神、祷告的时候提到你们. | We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; |
| 1:3 | 在 神我们的父面前、不住的记念你们因信心所作的工夫、因爱心所受的劳苦、因盼望我们主耶稣基督所存的忍耐。 | Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; |
| 1:4 | 被 神所爱的弟兄阿、我知道你们是蒙拣选的. | Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. |
| 1:5 | 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。 | For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. |
| 1:6 | 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. | And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: |
| 1:7 | 甚至你们作了马其顿和亚该亚、所有信主之人的榜样。 | So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. |
| 1:8 | 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。 | For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. |
| 1:9 | 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、 | For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; |
| 1:10 | 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。 | And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. |
