帖撒羅尼迦前書 1 Thessalonians

1:1	[hb5]	保羅、西拉、提摩太、寫信給帖撒羅尼迦在父　神和主耶穌基督裡的教會．願恩惠平安歸與你們。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
1:2	[hb5]	我們為你們眾人常常感謝　神、禱告的時候提到你們．
	[kjv]	We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
	[bbe]	We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;
1:3	[hb5]	在　神我們的父面前、不住的記念你們因信心所作的工夫、因愛心所受的勞苦、因盼望我們主耶穌基督所存的忍耐。
	[kjv]	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;
	[bbe]	Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
1:4	[hb5]	被　神所愛的弟兄阿、我知道你們是蒙揀選的．
	[kjv]	Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
	[bbe]	Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;
1:5	[hb5]	因為我們的福音傳到你們那裡、不獨在乎言語、也在乎權能、和聖靈、並充足的信心．正如你們知道我們在你們那裡、為你們的緣故是怎樣為人。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.
1:6	[hb5]	並且你們在大難之中、蒙了聖靈所賜的喜樂、領受真道、就效法我們、也效法了主．
	[kjv]	And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
	[bbe]	And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;
1:7	[hb5]	甚至你們作了馬其頓和亞該亞、所有信主之人的榜樣。
	[kjv]	So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
	[bbe]	So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.
1:8	[hb5]	因為主的道從你們那裡已經傳揚出來、你們向　神的信心不但在馬其頓和亞該亞、就是在各處、也都傳開了．所以不用我們說甚麼話。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.
1:9	[hb5]	因為他們自己已經報明我們是怎樣進到你們那裡、你們是怎樣離棄偶像歸向　神、要服事那又真又活的　神、
	[kjv]	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;
	[bbe]	For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,
1:10	[hb5]	等候他兒子從天降臨、就是他從死裡復活的、那位救我們脫離將來忿怒的耶穌。
	[kjv]	And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
	[bbe]	Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.
