A:

Thirteen have been attributed to Paul, although some are clearly not genuine, having been written by other Christians after his death. Of the thirteen Pauline epistles, seven are regarded as having been written by the Apostle Paul. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians.

A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine. There is also some further evidence that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians may not have been written by Paul, but this is not a majority view. Thus the five epistles that pass these more stringent tests are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon and Galatians.

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.
