Thanksgiving and Encouragement

May 19, 2024    Matthew Allen

With the primary reason for writing the second letter, exposing and refuting the false teaching they had received and helping them better understand what would happen when the Lord returns, Paul now moves to cover more general issues. There are two sections of thanksgiving and prayer in 2 Thessalonians (1:3, 11) and here in 2:13-14, 16; 3:1, 5.
