Christian scholars refer to the letters to Timothy (and Titus) as the 'Pastorals' because they are concerned with pastoral issues that became important in the second century. They were not really written by Paul, nor were they written to Timothy, but were encyclicals to the Church at large, providing instruction for the overseers of congregations in the second century. By writing two epistles and attributing them to Paul, the author created a marvelous fiction in order to place a church manual of discipline from the mid-second century in the very beginning of the apostolic tradition.
Their attribution to Paul is clearly fictional, for their language, style and thought are thoroughly un-Pauline. The 'personal' references to particular occasions in the lives of Timothy, Titus, and Paul do not fit with reconstructions of that history taken from the authentic letters of Paul.
The letters were not included in Marcion's list of Paul's letters (ca 140 CE), nor do they appear in the earliest manuscript collection of Paul's letters (ca. 200 CE). The first quotations from the epistles appear in lrenaeus' Against Heresies, dated about 180 CE.

A:The apostle Paul may well have written 21 or more letters, but most of these have not survived to the present day. The 13 New Testament epistles attributed to St Paul are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon. Many scholars now accept only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippiansand 1 Thessalonians as genuine. A.Q. Morton goes further, having carried out a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul and found that only Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians and Philemon contain exactly the same writing style as Galatians. Thus, Paul personally wrote only 5 or 7 of the letters traditionally attributed to him, with the remainder written in his name after his death. Apart from Philemon, Paul's letters were written to cajole and instruct the churches in various matters. Philemon was written to a fellow-Christian on behalf of a slave whom Paul was sending back to his owner.

None. There are, however, two epistles (letters) from Paul TO Timothy.
Timothy was a companion and co-worker of the apostle Paul in the early Christian church. He is mentioned in multiple letters in the New Testament, such as the books of Acts and the Letters to Timothy. Timothy is known for his faithfulness, service, and dedication to spreading the teachings of Jesus.
The apostle Paul wrote 13 of the letters in the New Testament that bear his name. However, there is debate among scholars about whether he wrote all of the letters attributed to him in the New Testament.
St Paul is found in the bible many times He has letters from him to someone or a city (known as epistles) - such as the letter of Paul to the Corinthians, letters to Timothy 1 and 2 and others.
There are two letters to Timothy. I Timothy has 6 chapters and II Timothy has 3 chapters.
The evangelist Timothy did not write 1st Timothy. Paul wrote 1st Timothy and he had to have been at least 40 when he did so. Given that Paul was crucified at about 62, it is a reasonable assumption that he was in his mid 40's when he wrote to his protegee.
