An "epistle" in The Bible is a letter expressing a religious message to the particular persons to whom it is addressed. This is not the same as an "apostle," who was a follower of Jesus Christ. Several apostles did write epistles though.

List the 14 books that Paul wrote This is the question that the teacher gave you There are 14 letters pawl wrote Beginning with the letter to the Romans list all 14 books Thanks?

The thirteen epistles that are almost certainly written by Paul, in order, are: Epistle to the Romans First Epistle to the Corinthians Second Epistle to the Corinthians Epistle to the Galatians Epistle to the Ephesians Epistle to the Philippians Epistle to the Colossians First Epistle to the Thessalonians Second Epistle to the Thessalonians First Epistle to Timothy Second Epistle to Timothy Epistle to Titus Epistle to Philemon although some theologians doubt that some letters (eg Ephesians) are written by him as the style of writing is different from the others. The fourteenth letter, the Epistle to the Hebrews - is unlikely to have been written by Paul. He doesn't claim to have written it nor is the style of writing his. Pauline authorship is rejected by modern scholarship and even in the early church its authorship was debated.
