2 Thessalonians — Quovadisworld

WARNING AGAINST IDLENESS AND BENEDICTION

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness and patience of Christ.

Because of this God will send upon them a misleading influence, [an activity of error and deception] so they will believe the lie.

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens written shortly after the first.
