帖撒羅尼迦後書1:11-12

1:11 因此，我們常為你們禱告，願我們的上帝看你們配得過所蒙的召，又用大能成就你們一切所羨慕的良善和一切因信心所做的工夫，

1:12 叫我們主耶穌的名在你們身上得榮耀，你們也在他身上得榮耀，都照著我們的上帝並主耶穌基督的恩。

With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    這裡讓我們知道基督徒要「叫我們主耶穌的名在你們身上得榮耀，你們也在他身上得榮耀」，也就是使基督重我們得榮耀，我們也從基督得榮耀。

    而這一切都是上帝的恩典，若不是上帝的恩典，一切都無法實現，也無意義了，人只能滅亡。
