In 2 Corinthians (2 Corinthians 7:8) Paul writes "I see that I hurt you with my letter". Some people think Paul is referring here to his first letter (1Corinthians) some people think this refers to another letter.

There is another letter called 3 Corinthians but most scholars believe this was not written by Paul.

The truth is we don't know if Paul did or did not write a third or fourth letter to the church at Corinth

How many letters did Paul write to Corinth?

In the New Testament, there are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However, reference within those works suggest the existence of probably two additional letters, written during the same period. Liberal Scholars have looked at these references and many believe that the additional letters are actually part of what we now perceive as the two epistles. In other words, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians are probably composites of four or five original epistles. Conservative Scholars have looked closely at these letters and conclude there were only two surviving letters to be assimilated into our current Bible. They are respectively 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However there is internal evidence within the scriptures of 1 and 2 Corinthians that suggests that two letters were lost. In 1 Cor. 5:9 Paul refers to a "former letter", and in 2 Cor. 2:4 Paul refers to a "sorrowful letter." There actually were four letters and two were lost.
