No. Thirteen epistles have been written by him or in his name. Hebrews was also attributed to Paul at one stage, but this is too clearly neither an epistle not a work of Paul.Of the thirteen episltes actually attributed to Paul, scholars believe that seven were written by Paul himself. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine, leaving just five genuine epistles. On the other hand, the Second Epistle to the Corinthians is thought to contain parts of at least three original epistles consolidated together.
