Several additional letters bearing Paul's name are disputed among scholars, namely Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus. Scholarly opinion is sharply divided on whether or not Colossians and 2 Thessalonians are genuine letters of Paul.
Third Epistle to the Corinthians, a correspondence of two letters allegedly sent by the Corinthians to Paul, and then a reply letter allegedly sent by Paul to the Church of Corinth. It was considered genuine for some time by the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Armenian Apostolic Church , but is now widely dated in the second half of the 2nd ...
Despite the attributed title "1 Corinthians", this letter was not the first written by Paul to the church in Corinth, only the first canonical letter. 1 Corinthians is the second known letter of four from Paul to the church in Corinth, as evidenced by Paul's mention of his previous letter in 1 Corinthians 5:9.

The problem then arises, as Raymond Brown points out, whether this letter is an authentic writing of Paul or written by one of his followers in his name. [36] If this letter is authentic, then it might have been written soon after Paul's first letter to this community—or possibly years later.
Several sheets of the manuscript are missing; It is often difficult to read the top of the pages. The first piece is the acts of the apostles (1r-65v), then comes the catholic epistles(66r-100v) and Paul's epistles(101r-241v). The following are missing from Paul's epistles: Epistle to the Romans(2,18-3,7); Epistle to the Galatians (5,19-6,12);
Scholars have increasingly questioned Paul's authorship and attributed the letter to an early follower instead, but others still defend it as authentic.

If Paul was the author of the letter, then it was probably written from Rome during Paul's first imprisonment, [19] and probably soon after his arrival there in the year 62, four years after he had parted with the Ephesian elders at Miletus. However, scholars who dispute Paul's authorship date the letter to between 70 and 80 AD. [7]
