2 Thessalonians

New Testament · 3 chapters

Steadiness for a church unsettled by claims that the day of the Lord had come.

About 2 Thessalonians

Second Thessalonians addresses confusion, possibly stirred by a forged letter, that the day of the Lord had already arrived. Paul steadies them: certain things must happen first, and they should stand firm and hold to what they were taught. He also confronts idleness among some who had stopped working, giving the plain instruction that those unwilling to work should not eat.
