In the New Testament, there are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However, reference within those works suggest the existence of probably two additional letters, written during the same period.
Liberal Scholars have looked at these references and many believe that the additional letters are actually part of what we now perceive as the two epistles. In other words, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians are probably composites of four or five original epistles.
Conservative Scholars have looked closely at these letters and conclude there were only two surviving letters to be assimilated into our current Bible. They are respectively 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However there is internal evidence within the scriptures of 1 and 2 Corinthians that suggests that two letters were lost. In 1 Cor. 5:9 Paul refers to a "former letter", and in 2 Cor. 2:4 Paul refers to a "sorrowful letter." There actually were four letters and two were lost.

How many letters did Paul write to Corinth at a minimum and what were the letters?
There are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians in the New Testament, and scholars are satisfied that both are genuine letters written by Paul, even if redacted by later editors. In addition 2 Corinthians 2:4 talks of a 'sorrowful letter' that Paul had previously written, but which could not have been 1 Corinthians. Some scholars also see in 2 Corinthians references to yet another letter. Thus, there were certainly three and probably at least four letters from Paul to the Corinthian church. A quite reasonable suggestion is that someone subsequently added the 'sorrowful letter' as the last four chapters of 2 Corinthians, although it would have been chronologically earlier. Some scholars think 2 Corinthians is actually composed of fragments of several epistles, which have been assembled to provide a fairly consistent single 'letter'.

Paul, about A.D. 55, wrote a practical letter to the church at Corinth, from the city of Esphesus, addressing many issues. Corinth was close to Athens where the atmosphere was dominated by egoists who paraded themselves as philosophers. The spirit of Athens had penetrated the church in Corinth.

For it is written, He taketh the wise, that they are vain."
