2 Thessalonians 2:2

2 not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a “spirit,”[a] or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand.(A)

- 2:2 “Spirit”: a Spirit-inspired utterance or ecstatic revelation. An oral statement: literally, a “word” or pronouncement, not necessarily of ecstatic origin. A letter allegedly sent by us: possibly a forged letter, so that Paul calls attention in 2 Thes 3:17 to his practice of concluding a genuine letter with a summary note or greeting in his own hand, as at Gal 6:11–18 and elsewhere.
