弟兄们，你们效法了犹太地区在基督耶稣里属神的各教会，因为你们也受了自己同胞的苦害，就像他们受了犹太人的苦害那样。

相反，正如你们知道，虽然我们以前在腓立比受了苦、受了凌辱，但是靠着我们的神，我们还是放胆直言，在大争战中把神的福音传给了你们。

但是我不把自己的生命看为宝贵，为要跑尽我该跑的路程，完成从主耶稣所领受的服事工作，为神恩典的福音郑重地做见证。

弟兄们，我们要你们明白神在马其顿省各教会中所赐的恩典：在患难的极大考验中，他们的喜乐之满和贫穷之深都流露出来，归入他们慷慨之心的财富。

可是当帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人知道保罗又在庇里亚城传扬神的话语时，就来到那里煽动、搅扰民众。

所以，我们自己在神的各教会中以你们夸耀，因为你们在一切的逼迫和患难中保持着你们的忍耐和信仰。这正是神公义审判的证据，好使你们算是配得上神的国；你们也正是为此而受苦害的。神既然真是公义的，当主耶稣与他有大能的天使们一起从天上显现的时候，他就要以患难回报那些加患难给你们的人，

“我把这些事告诉了你们，免得你们被绊倒。他们将要把你们赶出会堂。不但如此，时候就要到了！那杀你们的人，都会以为自己是在事奉神。他们做这些事，是因为不认识父，也不认识我。

但那些不肯信从的犹太人嫉妒了，就招聚一些市井无赖，成群结伙，扰乱城市。他们闯进耶森的家，搜寻保罗和赛拉斯，要把他们带到民众那里。可是找不到他们，就把耶森和几位弟兄拉到地方官们那里，喊叫说：“这些搅乱天下的，也来到这里，耶森竟接待了他们！这些人都违背了凯撒的谕令，说另外有一个王，就是耶稣。”民众和地方官们听了这些话就惊慌不安，后来，拿了耶森和其他人的保释金，就把他们释放了。

保罗和赛拉斯经过安菲波利斯和阿波罗尼亚，来到帖撒罗尼迦。那里有一个犹太人的会堂。
