Paul commends the Thessalonians for their growing faith and love amidst persecution. He assures them that God's righteous judgment will bring relief to the afflicted and retribution to those who trouble them when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire.
Paul corrects a false alarm that the day of the Lord has already come. He describes the man of lawlessness who must first be revealed, setting himself up as God. He urges the Thessalonians to stand firm and hold to the teachings passed to them.
Paul asks for prayer that the gospel may spread rapidly. He warns against idleness, commanding that anyone unwilling to work should not eat. He models diligent labor and instructs the community to gently correct the disorderly without treating them as enemies.
