“It would be a mistake, however, to assume that traditions are always a good thing. As Thomas Aquinas notes in his commentary on 2 Thessalonians, traditions are not to be kept if they are contrary to the teaching of the faith.52 Indeed, Paul himself tells the churches in Galatia not to listen to anyone who teaches something contrary to the gospel (Gal 1:8).”

“God’s sanctifying Spirit has been given to them (see commentary on 1 Thess 4:3–8) to make them holy so they will be found worthy when the Lord returns. They in turn offer their “belief” or “trust” in the truth, in contrast to those mentioned in 2:9–12, who prefer lies.”
