The New Testament was originally written in Greek, so the letters in that original version are Greek letters.
The letters in the New Testament also refer to actual letters written by Paul the missionary and Apostle to the Gentiles to some of the churches he either visited or founded. He wrote to correct errors on doctrine, to send greetings and to encourage and also at times to defend his own authority against those who sought to undermine it.
These are called the Epistles and consist of the following books:
Romans, I and II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians , Colossians, I and II Thessalonians, I and II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, I and II Peter, I, II, and III John, and Jude.

∙ 13y agoMost, but not all the New Testament letters were simply that - letters to individual churches or persons. They were preserved out of respect for the author or supposed author and because of the important messages they contained. Some were really encyclicals or letters to the Church as a whole. The Epistle to the Hebrews is not really a letter at all, but could have been a sermon or a primitive gospel.
