Context of 2 Thessalonians 1:2

1This letter is from Paul, Silas and Timothy. We are writing to the people of the church in Thessalonica. You belong to God our Father, and to the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will continue to help you. We pray that they will give you peace in your minds. 3Our Christian friends, we ought always to thank God because of you. It is right that we do this, because you are learning to trust Christ more and more. All of you are also loving each other more and more. 4As a result, we are proud to tell believers in other churches about you. We tell them how you continue to trust God in your many troubles. You are patient and brave, even when people cause you to have much pain.
