Aug15 【每日活水】单单归荣耀给 SHEN

保罗在帖撒罗尼迦工作

1 弟兄们，你们自己原晓得我们进到你们那里并不是徒然的。

2 我们从前在腓立比被害受辱，这是你们知道的；然而还是靠我们的　 SHEN 放开胆量，在大争战中把　 SHEN 的fu yin传给你们。

3 我们的劝勉不是出于错误，不是出于污秽，也不是用诡诈。

4 但　 SHEN 既然验中了我们，把fu yin托付我们，我们就照样讲，不是要讨人喜欢，乃是要讨那察验我们心的　 SHEN 喜欢。

5 因为我们从来没有用过谄媚的话，这是你们知道的；也没有藏着贪心，这是　 SHEN 可以作见证的。

6 我们作 JI DU 的使/徒，虽然可以叫人尊重，却没有向你们或向别人求荣耀；

7 只在你们中间存心温柔，如同母亲乳养自己的孩子。

8 我们既是这样爱你们，不但愿意将　 SHEN 的fu yin给你们，连自己的性命也愿意给你们，因你们是我们所疼爱的。

9 弟兄们，你们记念我们的辛苦劳碌，昼夜做工，传　 SHEN 的fu yin给你们，免得叫你们一人受累。

10 我们向你们信主的人，是何等圣洁、公义、无可指摘，有你们作见证，也有　 SHEN 作见证。

11 你们也晓得，我们怎样劝勉你们，安慰你们，嘱咐你们各人，好像父亲待自己的儿女一样，

12 要叫你们行事对得起那召你们进他国、得他荣耀的　 SHEN 。

13 为此，我们也不住地感谢　 SHEN ，因你们听见我们所传　 SHEN 的道就领受了；不以为是人的道，乃以为是　 SHEN 的道。这道实在是　 SHEN 的，并且运行在你们信主的人心中。

14 弟兄们，你们曾效法犹太中在 JI DU YS 里　 SHEN 的各 JH ；因为你们也受了本地人的苦害，像他们受了犹太人的苦害一样。

15 这犹太人杀了主 YS 和先知，又把我们赶出去。他们不得　 SHEN 的喜悦，且与众人为敌，

16 不许我们传道给外邦人使外邦人得救，常常充满自己的罪恶。 SHEN 的忿怒临在他们身上已经到了极处。

Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica

1 You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. 

2 We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. 

3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. 

4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. 

5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness. 

6 We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. 

7 Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, 

8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. 

9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. 

10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 

11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 

12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. 

14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews 

15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone 

16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
