KwabaseTesalonika, Iincwadi eziya
Ziincwadi ezimbini kwiTestamente eNtsha. Ekuqaleni yayiziincwadi uPawulos awazibhalela amaTesalonika ngethuba awayeseKorinte ngotyelelo lwakhe lokuqala eYurophu kufuphi nama-50Â E.K. Umsebenzi wakhe eTesalonika uchazwe kwiZenzo 17. UPawulos wayefuna ukubuyela eTesalonika kodwa wayengenako ukwenza njalo (â… Â Tes. 2:18). Ke ngoko wathuma uTimoti ukuba omeleze abaguqukileyo aze amzisele ilizwi lokokuba ayesenza kanjani. UPawulos wabhala incwadi yokuqala njengesiphumo sombulelo wakhe ekubuyeni kukaTimoti.
