      Please respond to each of the prompts, numbering your answers to correspond.  

      1. Paul told the Thessalonian church in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 (ESV) “... stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us.” Discuss whether the word traditions here means Paul’s teachings, Paul’s practice, or both. Refer to the context of the verse, the Greek, as well as the grammar of the verse, in order to inform your answer. 

      2. Paul told the Thessalonian church in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 (ESV) “stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us.” Discuss whether Paul’s instructions for the Thessalonian church was something he wished for the church but didn’t expect to be carried out, or something he gave the church as an option, or something that he expected to be obeyed. Refer to the grammar of the verse in order to answer.

      3. Paul wrote in 2 Thessalonians 3:6 (ESV) “... keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.” In what sense is “tradition” used here? Is it Paul’s traditional teaching or Paul’s traditional practice or both? Give reasons for your answer.
