1:1 [hgb] 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 。

[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.

1:3 [hgb] 在 神 我 们 的 父 面 前 ， 不 住 地 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 。

[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 [hgb] 被 神 所 爱 的 弟 兄 阿 ， 我 知 道 你 们 是 蒙 拣 选 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 [hgb] 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 。

[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 [hgb] 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 。

[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 [hgb] 甚 至 你 们 作 了 马 其 顿 和 亚 该 亚 ， 所 有 信 主 之 人 的 榜 样 。

[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 [hgb] 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 。

[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 [hgb] 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 ，

[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 [hgb] 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 。

[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.
