Paul's Second Missionary Journey

Paul refers to his mistreatment in Philippi in verse 2. Therefore, Paul and his companions arrived in Thessaloniki immediately after their beating and imprisonment. This makes their bold witness even more compelling and difficult to criticize.

We may connect 1 Thessalonians to his Second Missionary Journey.

We learn about what happened in Philippi in Acts 16:9-40.

Paul wrote 1 letter on his first missionary journey, Galatians. He wrote 2 letters on his second missionary journey, 1 & 2 Thessalonians. And he wrote 3 letters on his third journey, 1 & 2 Corinthians and Romans.
