1. Compare the first chapter with I Thess. 1: What important item is omitted?

3. Does this collection seem to link II Thess. with Israel and the kingdom, or with the

Church of the Mystery?

4. "So write I" (II Thess. 3: 17). Explain this; II Thess. 2: 2 will help.

5. Find a parallel with II Thess. 2: 9 in Heb. 2:, and say what light this throw upon the

character of the "last days."

6. The word translated "gathering together" in II Thess. 2: 1 occurs but once more,

Heb. 10: 25, "assembling together." Examine the context of each occurrence, and consider

whether Heb. 10: 25 refers to the attendance at a place of worship, or the "day

approaching " of the gathering together unto Him."

1. Consider 1: 4-7. How was the testimony "confirmed"? Compare Mark 16: 15-20,

and Heb. 2: 3 and 4.

2. Explain 1: 17. Could Peter have made this statement?

3. "Babes," "milk," "meat" (3:). Trace the parallel in Heb. 5: and 6: (there are at

least seven points of resemblance).

4. Trace the expressions "now concerning," "now as touching," and find the primary

cause of the writing of the epistle.

5. Examine the context of the reference to the Lord's Supper (chapters 11:-14:). In

how many particulars did the Corinthians differ from present day believers.

6. Why is the "body mentioned in chapter 12:? Explain the word "for," which links

the reference to the "body" with the preceding list of spiritual gifts.

7. Find Scripture examples and illustrations to 13: 4-8.
