Read 2 Thess 2.1-15 A refutation.
False teaching about the day of the Lord is stated (vv. 1-2) and refuted (vv. 3-12).
In contrast is thanksgiving for the different fate of believers (vv. 13-15), who hold on the the truth
(v. 13), the proclamation, and the traditions (vv. 14-15).
In verse 3 lawless one, perhaps a false prophet or one of the emperors.
In verses 6-7 the identity of the unknown one restraining the lawless one is impossible to determine, but the conflict between the two belongs to what must occur before the day of the Lord.
In verse 13 we must always give thanks; see 1.3.
In verse 15 stand firm, see 1 Thess 3.8.
