Best Answer

One is the epistle of Colossions.

While Paul was imprisoned around 61 AD he was asked for help in dealing with false teaching that had crept into the Church at Colosse. The false teaching was similar to an early form of Gnosticism which taught that Jesus was not fully God and fully man , but one of the semi-divine beings that provided a gap or chasm between God and world and therefore as such He was lacking the authority and ability to meet the needs of the church.

In Chapter 2,v.8-9, Paul states ...."Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ. For in Himdwells all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily.

Also in Paul's epistle to the Philippians, he warned against dangerous heresies (false teachings) that were threatening this church which was again, most likely Gnosticism.

How are the works of Paul divided and what are the books in each division?

A:The most important division of the Pauline epistles is between the epistles regarded by scholars as genuinely written by Paul, and the so-called pseudo-Pauline epistles.The genuine epistles are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 ThessaloniansThe pseudo-Pauline epistles are believed to include Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and TitusHebrews was at one time thought to have been written by Paul, so this can be included as a distinct pseudo-Pauline epistle, although the original author included no superscript saying it was written by Paul.Another classification that can be used is the 'prison epistles', so called because of references to Paul in prison. This division includes Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon.The three epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are known as the Pastoral epistles because they deal with pastoral issues faced by the church in the first half of the second century.
