"The only thing that could protect the Thessalonians from deception in Paul's time & believers in our own time is to remember vigilantly the Word of God. This is evident from recalling that Paul says this is what they should "remember" (2 Thess 2:6) and "stand firm" in and "hold to" (2 Thess 2:16)..."
Yet: 2 Thess 2:15 stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter
