The first letter was written after Timothy, a co-worker, returned from Thessalonica and reported that new converts were not losing faith in the Lord despite persecution.
In order to counter the slander that the conversion of people by deception and theoretic hypothesis, Paul pointed out that the Thessalonians themselves were witnesses of their'holy, right and blameless' behavior (2:10),
It also reminded him that he worked day and night to not burden anyone. Responding to questions that disturbed the Church, Paul explained that both the living and the dead would participate in his resurrection at the Second Coming of Christ.
The second letter was written shortly after the first letter, and some scholars question whether I am Paul because the approach of Christ's return is quite vague.
Christians at the time believed that there was no need to work because the end of the world was at hand. However, the letter explains that the last day comes only after the appearance of the Antichrist and claiming to be God.
Therefore, Christians should continue to "work for their livelihood" (3:12), as Paul did in Thessalonica, and "not to eat bread from anyone freely" (3:8).
