弟兄們，你們好像猶太地在基督耶穌裡神的眾教會一樣，他們怎樣遭受猶太人的迫害，你們也照樣遭受同族人的迫害。

我們從前在腓立比雖然受了苦，又被凌辱，可是靠著我們的神，在強烈的反對之下，仍然放膽向你們述說神的福音，這是你們知道的。

但我並不珍惜自己的性命，只求跑完我的路程，完成我從主耶穌所領受的職分，為神恩惠的福音作見證。

弟兄們，我現在把神賜給馬其頓眾教會的恩典告訴你們：他們在患難中受到極大的考驗的時候，他們滿溢的喜樂和極度的貧乏，匯流出豐厚的慷慨來。

但帖撒羅尼迦的猶太人，知道保羅又在比里亞宣講神的道，就到那裡去，煽動挑撥群眾。

所以我們在神的眾教會裡，親自誇獎你們，因為你們在所受的一切迫害患難中，仍然存著堅忍和信心。這正是神公義判斷的明證，使你們可以算是配得上他的國；你們也是為了神的國而受苦。神既然是公義的，主耶穌和他有能力的天使從天上顯現在火燄中的時候，就使你們這些受災難的人，可以和我們同享安息；卻以災難報應那些把災難加給你們的人。

“我把這些事告訴了你們，使你們不致後退。人要把你們趕出會堂；並且時候要到，所有要殺害你們的人，以為這樣就是事奉神。他們要作這些事，因為他們不認識父，也不認識我。

但猶太人嫉妒起來，招聚了一些市井流氓，糾合成群，騷動全城，衝進了耶孫的家，搜索保羅和西拉，要把他們交給民眾。搜索不到他們，就把耶孫和幾個弟兄，拉到地方長官那裡，喊叫著說：“這些擾亂天下的人，也到這裡來了，耶孫卻收留他們。這些人都違背凱撒的法令，說另外還有一個王耶穌。”群眾和地方長官聽見這話，就驚慌起來，取得耶孫和其餘的人簽保後，才放了他們。

保羅和西拉經過暗非波里、亞波羅尼亞，來到帖撒羅尼迦，在那裡有猶太人的會堂。
