It is more formal
1st Thessalonians has 5 Chapters and 2nd Thessalonians has 3 Chapters. When you put the 1st and 2nd Thessalonians together, the FULL (WHOLE) book of Thessalonians would then be 8 Chapters in all.
Paul's two Epistles to the Thessalonians (1 and 2) are in the New Testament.
Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Ephesians Galatians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians and others
1 Thessalonians was written from Corinth, where the apostle Paul stayed for some time during his missionary journeys.
The books of Thessalonians are attributed to the apostle Paul in the New Testament of the Bible. There are two letters to the church in Thessalonica which are known as 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians.
1 Thessalonians 5:16. Always be joyful. Currently I have noticed this one.

Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, Colossians, Ephesians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are traditionally attributed to Paul.Most scholars believe that Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians were written by Paul himself. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine, but this is a monority view.Colossians, Ephesians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus, and possibly Philippians and 1 Thessalonians, were written in the name of Paul, probably by his disciples or successors.
Here are the approximate 12 times this phrase appears in the New Testament: Acts 20:28 1 Corinthians 1:2; 10:32; 11:16, 22; 15:9 2 Corinthians 1:1 Galatians 1:1-3 1 Thessalonians 1:1 and 2:14 2 Thessalonians 1:1 note: 2 Thessalonians 1:1 says 'to the churches of the Thessalonians in God... 2 Timothy 1:4; 3:5, 15
Chapter 2, verses 1-2 of 2 Thessalonians talks of rumours that the Second Coming of Jesus was about to occur. Verse 3 assures them that it was not to be. If Paul really wrote 2 Thessalonians, this reassurance would be a good reason for him to do so, but scholars are reported to be almost unanimous that Paul didd not write 2 Thessalonians - it was written in his name later in the century.
1 and 2 Thessalonians were written during Paul's Second Missionary Journey.
