데살로니가후서 2장 13-14절

  주님의 사랑을 받는 형제자매 여러분, 우리는 여러분의 일로 언제나 하나님께 감사하지 않을 수 없습니다. 하나님께서는 여러분을 성령으로 거룩하게 하시고, 진리를 믿게 하여 구원에 이르게 하시려고, 처음부터 여러분을 택하여 주셨기 때문입니다. 이렇게 되게 하시려고, 하나님께서는 우리의 복음으로 여러분을 부르시고, 여러분에게 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 영광을 얻게 하셨습니다. _새번역성경

  しかし、主に 愛されている 兄弟たちよ。わたしたちはいつもあなたがたのことを、神に 感謝せずにはおられない。それは、神があなたがたを 初めから 選んで、御霊によるきよめと、真理に 対する 信仰とによって、救を 得させようとし。そのために、わたしたちの 福音によりあなたがたを 召して、わたしたちの 主 イエス · キリストの 栄光にあずからせて 下さるからである。_口語訳

But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ._NASB 

 Meanwhile, we’ve got our hands full continually thanking God for you, our good friends—so loved by God! God picked you out as his from the very start. Think of it: included in God’s original plan of salvation by the bond of faith in the living truth. This is the life of the Spirit he invited you to through the Message we delivered, in which you get in on the glory of our Master, Jesus Christ._The Message
