In the New Testament the epistle of Colossi ans is written by Paul.
Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians.
The third group of Paul's letters contains four epistles: Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, and Philemon.
That would be Paul's letter to the "Colossians".I was pretty sure that's what it was, but checked just to be sure.
The Epistle to the Colossians was traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul. It is one of the letters he wrote to a Christian community in the ancient city of Colossae, addressing various theological and practical concerns of the early Christian church. However, some scholars debate whether Paul was the actual author due to differences in writing style and theological emphasis.
Paul's letters to the Colossians and Ephesians are closely related epistles that most modern scholars say are not authentic. Among the early Christians, neither Irenaeus nor Eusebius regarded Colossians as authentic. So any analysis of the text must take into account the development of the Christian Church in the second half of the second century, when Colossians is believed to have been written. Colossians was concerned with Church structure and discipline. Colossians 1:15-20 emphasises that God created the world and is the head of the Church of which "I Paul" (1:23,25) am a minister.
A:Although attributed to the apostle Paul, Ephesians was actually written during the eighties of the first century, long after Paul's death. It is known that Paul was imprisoned during his missionary work, and the author of Ephesians mentions Paul's imprisonment to give his epistle a personal touch. A typical method that ancient forgers used to satisfy readers that a writing was genuine, was to include personal details, in this case mentioning Paul's imprisonment. However, Paul did not write this epislte and was dead, not in prison, at the time of its writing.
The consensus of scholars is that Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are genuine letters written by the apostle Paul. Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothyand Titus were written in Paul's name, but long after his death.
