2 Corinthians 2:4 talks of a 'sorrowful letter' that Paul had previously written, but which could not have been 1 Corinthians. A quite reasonable suggestion is that someone subsequently added the 'sorrowful letter' as the last four chapters of 2 Corinthians, in which case, it is not really unpublished.
Some scholars think 2 Corinthians is actually composed of fragments of several epistles, which have been assembled to provide a fairly consistent single 'letter'.

No, that is not true at all. Any book published in the US before 1923 is out of copyright.
Yes. The King James Version of the Bible is the official Bible of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in English-speaking nations. Members are welcome to use a KJV Bible published by any source, but many choose to use an edition published by the Church. The text is the same as all other KJV Bibles, but it includes cross references to the Book of Mormon, which Mormons use as an additional book of scripture. You can order a copy of the King James Version of the Bible published by the Mormon Church at the "Related Links" below.
The only books of the Bible that really mention bishops are the pseudo-Pauline epistles known as 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. New Testament scholars almost universally believe these books to have been written during the first half of the second century, and coincide with the earliest known appointments of bishops. The Epistles to Timothy portray Paul as appointing Timothy as a bishop, but of course not as his successor, and there is no mention of the bishops being appointed as direct successors of the apostles.
Not one of Peter, James, Paul, John or Jude is now believed to have written any of the General Epistles, as they are all regarded as pseudepigraphical. In other words, some epistles were written in the names of Peter, James, John and Jude, and attributed to them, but they were not really the authors.
For the Old Testament, Moses is traditionally credited with writing all (except Deuteronomy 34) and has the most verbage of any other contributor. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul is commonly attributed with 13-14 works (Epistles).
i do not fully follow your question, but if you read any of the 4 Gospels of Jesus Christ and some o9f the epistles of Paul in the New Testament of the Bible, I am sure your question will be answered by the grace of God
No it is not illegal to read The Satanic Bible or any other book by Anton LaVey. The Satanic Bible (and the rest of his books published) are open for purchase throughout several different online book stores, Ebay, and a handful of traditional book stores; and have been able to purchase this way since the book was released.
That depends on which part of the Bible you read. Almost any opinion can be supported by some part of the Bible.
If Hebrews is properly regarded as a letter, or epistle, it is anonymous as, in spite of long-standing tradition, there is no attribution to the apostle Paul or any other first-century author.The Epistles now known as 1 John, 2 John and 3 John are signed only as from "the Presbyter" (or elder).
It's like all the other Bibles. No more chapters and verses; - - No less. Jehovah's Witnesses can and do use any Bible translation available when teaching, however, the New World Translation, which is published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, has the same number of chapters and verses as any 'standard' Bible (minus the apocryphal books). Occasionally some Bible translations will change the numbering system slightly(such as when the Douay Bible incorporates Psalm 10 into Psalm 9 causing the rest of Psalms to be one verse behind), but the basic information stays the same.
