2 Thessalonians 2:9–17

If a great deceiver is coming, how are the Thessalonians to know whether or not they have been deceived? As Paul corrects the false teaching among the Thessalonians, he paints a picture of two types of people: those who will be deceived and those who will stand firm. It is in this exhortation that Paul reminds the Thessalonians church of who they are and what they have in Christ.
