我偕爾時、預告我儕將受難、後果如是、爾所知也、

我素偕爾、預語我儕必受難、後果如是、此爾所知、

我儕偕爾時、預言我儕必將受難、後果如是、此爾所知也、

嚮者吾與爾俱、早已預告吾人必有憂患、今果見驗、亦爾等之所親歷也。

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.

In fact, when we were with you, here is what we kept telling you. We were telling you that our enemies would make us suffer. As you know very well, it has turned out that way.

因為弟兄們，你們也像在猶太地基督耶穌裏的上帝眾教會那樣了。因為你們在自己同國人手下所受的苦、也正如他們在猶太人手下所受過的一樣。

不，你們知道、我們從前在腓立比雖受了苦，又被凌辱，卻還靠着我們的上帝放膽無懼，以極大的奮鬥對你們講上帝的福音。

但我不為性命作甚麼計算，而看為對自己有價值；比較起來，倒不如完盡了我的跑程、和我從主耶穌所領受的執事職任，鄭重證明上帝恩惠之福音。

弟兄們，我把上帝在馬其頓眾教會所賜的恩報給你們知道。就是在患難之大試驗中、他們喜樂之滿溢、跟他們很深的貧窮、竟溢流出他們慷慨施與之豐富來。

但帖撒羅尼迦的猶太人知道上帝之道也在庇哩亞給保羅傳布開了，也就往那裏去，搖動羣眾，攪亂他們。

以致我們在上帝的眾教會裏、親自拿你們來誇口，誇你們的堅忍和信心、在你們受的一切逼迫以及所忍受的患難中、仍然保持着。這正是上帝公義審判的明證，要使你們算為配得起上帝之國的；你們就是為着這國而受苦的。因為上帝所看為公義的就是：當主耶穌從天上同他有能力的天使在火燄中顯示出來時將患難報應那加患難給你們的人，而將鬆息還報你們、連同我們、受患難緊逼的人、

『這些事我對你們說了，是要使你們不絆跌。人必將你們革出會堂；不但如此，時候必到，凡殺你們的、且要以為是獻事奉與上帝呢！他們必這樣行，是因為他們沒認識過父，也沒認識過我。

但是猶太人卻起了妒忌的心，招聚些市井惡人，搭夥成羣，轟亂那城，闖進耶孫的家，想法子要將保羅西拉帶交民眾。找不着他們，就把耶孫和幾個弟兄拖到眾城官那裏，呼喊着說：『這些攪亂天下的也到這裏來了！耶孫招待他們。這些人都作違背該撒詔諭的事，說另有個人耶穌是王。』他們使羣眾和城官們聽見了這些事而大為震盪不安。城官就從耶孫和其餘的人取了保狀，釋放他們。

保羅西拉旅行過暗妃波里、亞波羅尼亞，來到帖撒羅尼迦，在那裏有猶太人的會堂。
