2 Thessalonians 1
He writes again very soon afterwards, because something has gone wrong. He starts by thanking God that their faith grows and their love toward each other abounds, and that they are holding up under persecution. Then he tells them something he rarely says so directly: rest is coming for those who are troubled, and the Lord will be revealed from heaven when he comes to be glorified in his saints.

2 Thessalonians 2
Somebody has told them the day of the Lord has already come, possibly in a forged letter with his name on it. He tells them not to be shaken in mind or troubled. The falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, and the one who restrains is taken out of the way. Therefore stand fast, and hold the traditions you were taught, whether by word or by our epistle.

2 Thessalonians 3:1–5
Pray for us, he says, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men, for not all men have faith. Then the sentence that answers the whole letter: but the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you and keep you from evil. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:6–18
The end of the world had become an excuse to stop working, and he deals with it head on. Withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly. He points at his own example: he worked night and day rather than be a burden to anybody, even though he had every right to be supported. If any would not work, neither should he eat. And yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
