Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances…
Paul appears to have actually spent time with the Thessalonians. He thanks them for their hospitality and for their belief in Christ’s message. They are faithful even in the light of bad news, news of believers who have died because of their faith.
He reminds them to be pure of body and mind. To love and care for each other. To be prepared for the second coming.
He warns them not to listen to the man of lawlessness (or sin) who will try to make them believe he is God. He is not. They should not be fooled, but remain firm in their belief and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Love one another; help one another; work for the good of all; never tire of doing what is good.
