Of the thirteen epistles have been attributed to Paul, at least seven are widely considered to be genuine, and five have been shown by computer analysis to contain exactly the same writing or dictation style: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philemon and Galatians.
- Romans was written by Paul to the church in Rome, Italy.
- 1 and 2 Corinthians were written by Paul to the church in Corinth, Greece.
- Galatians was written by Paul to the church in Galatia, Asia Minor.
The two that may, with some confidence, have been written by Paul, but do not match the style of Galatians are Philippians and 1 Thessalonians.
· Philippians may have been written by Paul to the church in Philippi.
· 1 Thessalonians may have been written by Paul to the church in Thessalonia.
2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus are sometimes referred to as pseudo-Pauline epistles, because the majority of critical scholars believe they were written by an anonymous author long after the time of Paul, and intended to be found and attributed to Paul. If so, then 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians were not really written to the churches whose names these epistles bear.
If we were to accept all thirteen epistles as genuine, then:
- 2 Thessalonians was also written to the Thessalonia church.
- Ephesians was written to the Ephesian Church.
- Colossians was written to the Colossian church.
Philemon, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Tituswere named after people.
