- The Epistle to the Romans was written to the existing Christian community in Rome and was no doubt preserved by that community in honour of Paul.
- 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians were addressed to and received by the Christians in Corinthians, although 2 Corinthians is probably a composite of as many as 3 letters originally written.
- Galatians was to the Christians in Galatia. There is disagreement whether the 'Galatians' were the ethnic Galatians of north-Central Asia Minor or the Roman province of Galatia just to the south.
- The Epistle to the Ephesians was written in Paul's name in the 80s of the first century and appears to have been an encyclical to Christians in General. The earliest and best manuscripts do not have the address to the Ephesians.
- Philippians was written to the Christians of Philippi.
- Colossians is another pseudo-Pauline epistle, written in the 70s CE. Although ostensibly addressed to the Christians at Colossae, a little to the east of Ephesus, it was undoubtedly written for and circulated to Christians in general.
- 1 Thessalonians was written to and received by the Christian community at Thessalonica.
- 2 Thessalonians was ostensibly written to the same community, but is regarded by scholars as a pseudo-Pauline epistle. It would have been circulated outside Thessalonica in order to appear to be a copy of a genuine letter written decades earlier by Paul himself.
- 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are known as the Pastoral epistles because they address pastoral issues that arose in the Church during the second century. Written as if by Paul, they were circulated widely among the early Christian communities.
- Hebrews was not thought to have been written by Paul until the second century. Having been attributed to Paul during the second century it was seen as one of his best writings for many centuries but is now acknowledged to be independent of Paul, although probably equally as old as his genuine epistles. It may have been written as an early sermon or as an encyclical.
