Structure and formatting
Paul concludes his letter in a way that was typical of letters in the ancient Near East.
Special concepts in this chapter
Day of the Lord
The exact time of the coming day of the Lord will be a surprise to the world. This is what the simile "like a thief in the night" means. Because of this, Christians are to live prepared for the coming of the Lord. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/dayofthelord and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile)
Quench the Spirit
To quench the Spirit is to ignore or work against the Holy Spirit's guidance and work.
