Joe: Alright, so what do we have here? 2 Thessalonians 3, right?

Bible Expert: Yes, 2 Thessalonians 3. This chapter starts with Paul encouraging the Thessalonians to pray for him and his companions to be kept safe from unbelievers. He's also asking God to open a door for him for proclaiming the gospel.

Joe: So it's sort of like a prayer?

Bible Expert: That's right. He's asking them to pray for protection and guidance.

Joe: Interesting. What else is in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Paul goes on to remind the Thessalonians to remain strong in their faith, and not to be influenced by the behavior of some of their fellow believers who have become disorderly. He then gives them several instructions, like to shun anyone who doesn't obey his instructions, to work hard, and to not be weary in doing what is right.

Joe: Whoa, that's intense. Is that all?

Bible Expert: No, there's one final thing. Paul ends the chapter by giving them a blessing and wishing them peace.

Joe: Oh, that's nice. Alright, so that's 2 Thessalonians 3. Any final thoughts?

Bible Expert: Well, the main takeaways from this chapter are to stay strong in your faith and to stay away from people who don't follow God's instructions. And finally, to never forget the importance of prayer.
