In 1 Corinthians 16:19, Paul passes on the greetings of Priscilla and Aquila to their friends in Corinth, indicating that the couple were in his company. Paul founded the church in Corinth.

Because of this incident, Paul resolved not to go to Corinth again in person. Instead, he evidently wrote an intervening letter (2:3–4; 7:8, 12), now lost, in which he told the Corinthians of his anguish and displeasure. Presumably, he sent a fellow worker, St. Titus, to deliver the letter to the community at Corinth.

About the year AD 50, towards the end of his second missionary journey, Paul founded the church in Corinth, before moving on to Ephesus, a city on the west coast of today’s Turkey, about 180 miles by sea from Corinth.

In the narrative of Acts, Paul was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission to “arrest them and bring them back to Jerusalem” when the ascended Jesus appeared to him in a great bright light….Paul the Apostle.

Paul the Apostle to Christian churches (exact location uncertain) that were disturbed by a Judaizing faction. Paul probably wrote the epistle from Ephesus about 53–54 to a church he had founded in the territory of Galatia, in Asia Minor, though there is uncertainty about the date of the letter’s composition.

The epistle of Galatians was written to the churches scattered throughout Galatia (a portion of modern Turkey). It is one of the most important writings of Paul in establishing the importance of Grace compared to the Law. Paul and salvation by grace alone were under attack by those in the churches of Galatia.

A third theory is that Galatians 2:1–10 describes Paul and Barnabas’ visit to Jerusalem described in Acts 11:30 and 12:25. This theory holds that the epistle was written before the Council was convened, possibly making it the earliest of Paul’s epistles.

Paul follows his introduction with a flattering greeting to the Roman church, and expresses his desire to preach in Rome someday. Paul gives a summary of the theme of his letter: “The Gospel . . . is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Paul understood the situation and wrote the letter to both the Jewish and the Gentile Christians in Rome in order to persuade them to build up a peaceful and close relationship between their house churches. They could maintain their non-Jewish (Gentile) identity according to the Gospel.

Paul. In fact, the three letters together are often called Pastoral Letters, as they were written to instruct and admonish the recipients in their pastoral office rather than to address the specific problems of congregations like many of the other Pauline epistles.

The Epistle to the Romans

This letter is now generally regarded as one of the undisputed works of Paul. It is the shortest of Paul’s extant letters, consisting of only 335 words in the Greek text….

The letters on which scholars are about evenly divided: Colossians (c. 62)…Seven letters (with consensus dates) considered genuine by most scholars:

• First Corinthians (c. 53–54)
• Philippians (c.
• Philemon (c. 57–59)

Based on authorship issues, the Pauline corpus is divided into three groups: the Pastoral epistles (1-2 Timothy and Titus), the Deutero-Pauline epistles (Ephesians, Colossians, and 2 Thessalonians), and the undisputed Pauline letters (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon).

How does one go about dating this letter and all the Pauline letters? The method involves correlating two types of dating: first, a relative dating for each of the letters. That is, determining the order in which Paul penned his letters, based on the development of Paul’s thinking evidenced in the topics he addresses.

Most scholars agree that Paul did not write the Pastoral epistles. These three letters are called the Pastoral Epistles because they were not addressed to communities but to men who had been appointed leaders in the churches.

According to tradition, the Apostle Paul wrote the letter while he was in prison in Rome (around AD 62). However, many critical scholars have questioned the authorship of the letter and suggest that it may have been written between AD 80 and 100.

The actual author of First Timothy has been traditionally identified as the Apostle Paul. He is named as the author of the letter in the text (1:1).

Paul the Apostle

The Pauline letters are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author. Paul’s authorship of six of the letters is disputed.

Overall, the message of 1 Timothy concerns sound teaching, while additional themes include how to deal with false teachers in the church; the responsibilities and qualifications of church leaders; appropriate conduct for Christians; and guarding the church’s reputation in the world.

Selecting Church Leaders Paul explained in Titus Chapter 1 specifically how to select the best leaders for the church. During this time, many false teachers were infiltrating churches in order to gain riches and power. This initial section of Paul’s letter to Titus warned of these men.

1 Timothy 4:12, NIV: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

What Paul says is, “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil.” What he is saying here is that we can get angry.
