Though we have taken the two letters to the Thessalonians as our starting point for the next series of commands, Paul does not directly address home and family issues to a great extent in those letters. Most of his family-specific commands come later, notably in
Ephesians and
Colossians as well as, interestingly, in the letters to the two single men, Timothy and Titus.
