2 Thessalonians 1
- Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy are writing this letter.

- Those people will be away from God's glory for all eternity. This is the WORST punishment a person can endure!!!
- Paul prays that they will continue to live a life worthy of their calling as Christians.
- This will bring glory to Christ's name
