 As we come to the end of this chapter, Paul makes a very interesting prayer for them, a prayer that he made always. So when he thought of those in Thessalonica, and we've already talked about, keep in mind the church we're dealing with. When Paul is writing this letter, he's sitting now down in Corinth. He was in Philippi, started the church, then he goes over to Thessalonica, starts there. The riot about takes place. I mean, this is a church that is enduring suffering, that's enduring persecution.
