Aug16【每日活水】负责到底

保罗希望再访问帖撒罗尼迦 JH

17 弟兄们，我们暂时与你们离别，是面目离别，心里却不离别；我们极力地想法子，很愿意见你们的面。 

18 所以我们有意到你们那里；我－保罗有一两次要去，只是撒但阻挡了我们。 

19 我们的盼望和喜乐，并所夸的冠冕是什么呢？岂不是我们主 YS 来的时候、你们在他面前站立得住吗？ 

20 因为你们就是我们的荣耀，我们的喜乐。

1 我们既不能再忍，就愿意独自等在雅典， 

2 打发我们的兄弟在 JI DU fu yin上作　 SHEN 执事的提摩太前去，坚固你们，并在你们所信的道上劝慰你们， 

3 免得有人被诸般患难摇动。因为你们自己知道，我们受患难原是命定的。 

4 我们在你们那里的时候，预先告诉你们，我们必受患难，以后果然应验了，你们也知道。 

5 为此，我既不能再忍，就打发人去，要晓得你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的到底诱惑了你们，叫我们的劳苦归于徒然。

6 但提摩太刚才从你们那里回来，将你们信心和爱心的好消息报给我们，又说你们常常记念我们，切切地想见我们，如同我们想见你们一样。 

7 所以，弟兄们，我们在一切困苦患难之中，因着你们的信心就得了安慰。 

8 你们若靠主站立得稳，我们就活了。 

9 我们在　 SHEN 面前，因着你们甚是喜乐；为这一切喜乐，可用何等的感谢为你们报答　 SHEN 呢？ 

10 我们昼夜切切地祈求，要见你们的面，补满你们信心的不足。

11 愿　 SHEN －我们的父和我们的主 YS 一直引领我们到你们那里去。 

12 又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心，并爱众人的心都能增长，充足，如同我们爱你们一样， 

13 好使你们当我们主 YS 同他众圣徒来的时候，在我们父　 SHEN 面前，心里坚固，成为圣洁，无可责备。

Paul’s Longing to See the Thessalonians

17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.

18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way.

19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?

20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

1 So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.

2 We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.

4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.

5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.

Timothy’s Encouraging Report

6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.

7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith.

8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?

10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you.

12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
