Someone told the Thessalonians the Day of the Lord already happened. Some quit their jobs to wait. Paul writes: calm down, and get back to work.
Overview
A short, urgent correction. False teaching about Christ's return created panic and laziness. Paul clarifies the sequence of events, encourages perseverance under persecution, and gives his most famous work ethic command: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
