3In Thessalonica, Paul and Silas were accused of having “turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6).

3保羅和西拉在帖撒羅尼迦時被控告「攪亂天下」(使徒行傳17:6),

4Their preaching angered certain leaders among the Jews, and these leaders stirred the people into an uproar (see Acts 17:1–10).

4因他們宣講福音的行為激怒了猶太人中的某些領袖,這些領袖於是就煽動人民起來作亂(見使徒行傳17:1-10)。

5As a result, Paul and Silas were advised to leave Thessalonica.

5結果,有人便建議保羅和西拉離開帖撒羅尼迦。

6Paul worried about the new Thessalonian converts and the persecution they were facing, but he was unable to return to visit them.

6保羅擔憂帖撒羅尼迦的新歸信者和他們所面臨的迫害,但卻無法回去拜訪他們。

7“When I could no longer forbear,” he wrote, “I sent to know your faith.”

7他寫道:「我既不能再忍,就打發人去,要曉得你們的信心如何。」

8In response, Paul’s assistant Timothy, who had been serving in Thessalonica, “brought us good tidings of your faith and charity” (1 Thessalonians 3:5–6).

8保羅的助手提摩太在帖撒羅尼迦已服務一段時間,於是在回信時「將你們信心和愛心的好消息報給我們」(帖撒羅尼迦前書3:5-6)。

9In fact, the Thessalonian Saints were known as examples “to all that believe” (1 Thessalonians 1:7), and news of their faith spread to cities abroad.

9事實上,帖撒羅尼迦的聖徒被眾人視為「所有信主之人」的榜樣(帖撒羅尼迦前書1:7),他們歸信的消息傳遍了各城。

10Imagine Paul’s joy and relief to hear that his work among them “was not in vain” (1 Thessalonians 2:1).

10想像保羅一聽到他在他們中間所做的事工「並不是徒然的」(帖撒羅尼迦前書2:1),內心該會多麼的喜悅與寬慰。

11But Paul knew that faithfulness in the past is not sufficient for spiritual survival in the future, and he was wary of the influence of false teachers among the Saints (see 2 Thessalonians 2:2–3).

11不過保羅深知過去的信心,並不足以在未來讓靈性得以存活,因此,他很小心提防在聖徒中間的假教師所造成的影響(見帖撒羅尼迦後書2:2-3)。

12His message to them, and to us, is to continue to “perfect that which is lacking in [our] faith” and to “increase more and more” in love (see 1 Thessalonians 3:10; 4:10).

12保羅給他們的信息也是為我們而寫的,他勸告我們要繼續「補滿〔自己〕信心的不足」,並在愛中「更加勉勵」(見帖撒羅尼迦前書3:10;4:10)。

個人經文研讀的建議:傳道者以誠懇和愛心來宣講福音。(13-15)

1 Thessalonians 1–2
帖撒羅尼迦前書第1~2章
Ministers of the gospel preach with sincerity and love.
傳道者以誠懇和愛心來宣講福音。

13In 1 Thessalonians, Paul’s words reveal both the concern and the joy of someone who has given himself wholly to serving God’s children.

13在帖撒羅尼迦前書中,保羅的話語流露出一位全然奉獻自己,為神的兒女服務的人,心中的擔憂與喜悅。

14Especially in the first two chapters of 1 Thessalonians, you will find words and phrases that describe how a true minister teaches the gospel.

14尤其在帖撒羅尼迦前書的前兩章,你會從字裡行間看到一位真正的傳道者是如何教導福音的。

15What are you inspired to do to improve your teaching of the gospel?

15你受到啟發要做哪些事來改進自己的福音教導?

只要我跟從耶穌基督,就能成為聖潔。(16-18)

1 Thessalonians 3:9–4:12
帖撒羅尼迦前書3:9~4:12
As I follow Jesus Christ, I can become holy.
只要我跟從耶穌基督,就能成為聖潔。

16We all hope that at “the coming of our Lord,” we will be able to stand before Him with “hearts unblameable in holiness before God” (1 Thessalonians 3:13).

16我們都希望「主……來的時候」,自己能在「父神面前」懷著「聖潔,無可責備〔的心〕」來面對主(帖撒羅尼迦前書3:13)。

17What did Paul teach about becoming more holy in 1 Thessalonians 3:9–13; 4:1–12?

只要我保持忠信和警醒,就能準備好迎接救主的第二次來臨。(19-26)

1 Thessalonians 4:16–18; 5:1–10; 2 Thessalonians 1:4–10
帖撒羅尼迦前書4:16-18;5:1-10;帖撒羅尼迦後書1:4-10
If I am faithful and watchful, I will be prepared for the Savior’s Second Coming.
只要我保持忠信和警醒,就能準備好迎接救主的第二次來臨。

19In 1 Thessalonians 5:1–10, Paul used several metaphors to teach important truths about the time when Jesus will return to the earth.

19在帖撒羅尼迦前書5:1-10中,保羅用了幾個隱喻來教導耶穌基督何時會重返大地的重要真理。

20As you study these metaphors, consider writing down the impressions that come to you about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ:

20研讀這些隱喻時,可以寫下浮現在你心中關於耶穌基督第二次來臨的靈感。

先知預言在第二次來臨前會發生「離道反教」的事,也就是叛教。(27-40)

2 Thessalonians 2
帖撒羅尼迦後書第2章
An apostasy, or falling away from truth, was prophesied to precede the Second Coming.
先知預言在第二次來臨前會發生「離道反教」的事,也就是叛教。

27Amid increasing persecutions, many of the Thessalonian Saints believed the Savior’s Second Coming must be near.

27在日益加增的迫害中,許多帖撒羅尼迦的聖徒都相信救主的第二次來臨必定近了。

28But Paul knew that before Jesus returned to earth there would be an apostasy—a rebellion or “falling away” from the truth (see 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4).

28不過保羅知道在耶穌重返大地之前,必會發生叛教——因反叛或「離道反教」而遠離真理(見帖撒羅尼迦後書2:1-4)。

29You could deepen your understanding of the Great Apostasy—and your appreciation for the Restoration—by exploring some of the following resources:

29你可以藉由研讀以下資源,加深對大叛教的理解,以及對復興的感激:

30Scriptures that foretold the Apostasy: Isaiah 24:5; Amos 8:11–12; Matthew 24:4–14; 2 Timothy 4:3–4

30預言叛教的經文:以賽亞書24:5;阿摩司書8:11-12;馬太福音24:4-14;提摩太後書4:3-4

31Scriptures that show the Apostasy was already beginning in Paul’s time: Acts 20:28–30; Galatians 1:6–7; 1 Timothy 1:5–7

31顯示在保羅的時代已開始有叛教發生的經文:使徒行傳20:28-30;加拉太書1:6-7;提摩太前書1:5-7

32Observations about the Great Apostasy by Christian reformers:

32基督教改革者對大叛教的觀察:

33Martin Luther: “I have sought nothing beyond reforming the Church in conformity with the Holy Scriptures. …

33馬丁·路德:「我所致力追求的,莫過於改革教會使之與神聖經文的教導一致。……

34I simply say that Christianity has ceased to exist among those who should have preserved it”.

34我要直接明白地說,基督教已不存在於那群原本應該要保守這信仰的人中間」。

35(in E. G. Schweibert, Luther and His Times: The Reformation from a New Perspective [1950], 590)

35(in E. G. Schweibert, Luther and His Times: The Reformation from a New Perspective [1950], 590)

36Roger Williams: “The apostasy … hath so far corrupted all that there can be no recovery out of that apostasy till Christ send forth new apostles to plant churches anew”.

36羅傑·威廉:「大叛教……目前為止已腐化了一切,除非基督派遣新的使徒,將教會重新建立起,否則根本無法從這大叛教中得到恢復。」。

37(in Philip Schaff, The Creeds of Christendom [1877], 851)

37(in Philip Schaff, The Creeds of Christendom [1877], 851)

38Erasmus: “Everything is now so entangled with these questions [of doctrine] and decrees that we dare not even hope to call the world back to true Christianity”.

38伊拉斯謨:「現在對於〔教義〕和教規的許多問題如此糾纏不清,我們甚至不敢奢望這世界能回復到過去真實的基督教信仰」。

53Seek revelation daily.

53每日尋求啟示。

54“Revelation often comes ‘line upon line’ (2 Nephi 28:30), not all at once. …

54「啟示通常來的方式是『律上加律』(尼腓二書28:30),不是一次全部顯示。……

55Don’t think of [gospel study] as something you make time for but as something you are always doing”.

55不要把〔福音研讀〕視為你要特別挪時間去做的事,而要視為你一直不斷在做的事」。
