'''Paul's letters''' are remarkably preseved letters by [[Saint Paul]], sometimes from prison, to the early [[Christian]] communities prior to 64-65 [[A.D.]], when Paul was executed by [[pagan]] [[Roman]]s. The [[New Testament]] includes 13 of Paul's letters, not ordered by chronology. The first letter is thought to have been his first [[Epistle to the Thessalonians]], while some assert that his earliest was his [[Epistle to the Galatians]].
'''Paul's letters''', totaling 13, are remarkably preserved letters (also called Epistles) by [[Saint Paul]], four of which (31%) were from prison, to the early [[Christian]] communities prior to 64-65 [[A.D.]], when Paul was executed by [[pagan]] [[Roman]]s. The [[New Testament]] includes 13 of Paul's letters, not ordered by chronology. The first letter is traditionally thought to have been his [[First Epistle to the Thessalonians]], while there is also strong evidence that his earliest was his [[Epistle to the Galatians]]. The total word count of all 13 letters is 26,236 words in their original [[Greek]].
Paul was a [[movement conservative]] who was a hardliner on many issues.

Paul's "[[Prison Epistles]]" were [[Ephesians]], [[Philippians]], [[Colossians]], and [[Philemon]]. The additional nine letters by Paul were his [[Romans]] (ordered first in the collection because of its significance), 1st and 2nd Corinthians, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, 1st and 2nd Timothy, [[Galatians]], and Titus.
Their ordering in the [[New Testament]] is as follows: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.
Paul's letters confirm the very early origin of the [[Gospels]] by referring almost verbatim several times to passages in them.
