After the introduction (2 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:2) the apostle begins this epistle with an account of his high esteem for these Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 2 Thessalonians 1:4. He then comforts them under their afflictions and persecutions (2 Thessalonians 1:5-10) and tells them what his prayers were to God for them, 2 Thessalonians 1:11; 2 Thessalonians 1:12.
