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.

弟兄姊妹，你們的遭遇和猶太地區基督耶穌的眾教會的遭遇一樣。你們受到了自己同胞的迫害，他們也受到了猶太人的迫害。

你們也知道，我們之前在腓立比遭受了迫害和凌辱，遇到強烈的反對，但仍然靠著我們的上帝放膽向你們傳揚祂的福音。

不過哪怕是犧牲性命，我也在所不辭，，只盼望我能跑完當跑的路程，完成主耶穌交託給我的使命，為上帝充滿恩典的福音做見證。

弟兄姊妹，我們現在要讓你們知道上帝向馬其頓各教會所施的恩典。他們雖然遭遇極大的患難，受盡熬煉，卻充滿了喜樂，在極度貧窮的情況下仍然十分慷慨樂捐。

可是，帖撒羅尼迦的猶太人聽到保羅在庇哩亞宣揚上帝的道，就趕來慫恿、煽動眾人。

因此，我們在上帝的眾教會中誇獎你們在各種迫害和患難中的堅忍和信心。你們這種表現正是上帝公義審判的明證，使你們配進上帝的國，你們正在為這國受苦。上帝是公義的，祂必以患難來報應那些迫害你們的人。

「我把這些事告訴你們，以免你們失去信心。人們將把你們趕出會堂；時候將到，殺害你們的人還以為是在事奉上帝。他們這樣做，是因為他們根本不認識父，也不認識我。

那些不信主的猶太人卻妒火中燒，他們召集了一群市井無賴，在城裡引發騷亂，闖進耶孫的家企圖把保羅和西拉揪出來示眾。他們找不到保羅和西拉，就把耶孫和幾個弟兄拉到當地官員面前，高喊：「那些攪亂天下的人到我們這裡來了，耶孫接待了他們。他們違抗凱撒的命令，說另有一個王叫耶穌。」百姓和當地官長聽後，深感不安。於是，官長命耶孫等人繳納保釋金，然後釋放了他們。

保羅和西拉經過暗非坡里和亞波羅尼亞，到了帖撒羅尼迦。那裡有猶太人的會堂。
