-	The '''Pauline epistles''', '''Epistles of Paul''', or '''Letters of Paul''', are the thirteen [[New Testament]] books which have the name Paul (Παῦλος) as the first word, hence claiming authorship by [[Paul the Apostle]]. Among these letters are some of the earliest extant Christian documents. They provide an insight into the beliefs and controversies of [[Early Christianity]] and, as part of the [[Biblical canon|canon]] of the New Testament, they have also been, and continue to be, foundational to [[Christian theology]] and [[Christian ethics]]. Usually they are placed between the [[Book of Acts]] and the [[Catholic epistles]]. In minuscules [[Minuscule 175|175]], [[Minuscule 325|325]], [[Minuscule 336|336]], and 1424 the Pauline epistles are placed at the end of New Testament.	+

-	This ordering is remarkably consistent in the manuscript tradition, with very few deviations. The evident principle of organization is descending length of the Greek text, but keeping the four [[Pastoral epistles]] addressed to individuals in a separate final section. The only anomaly is that Galatians precedes the slightly longer Ephesians.<ref name="Trobisch">{{cite book|last=Trobisch|first=David|title=Paul's Letter Collection: Tracing the Origins|year=1994|isbn=0800625978|pages=1–27|ref=harv}}</ref>	+
-		+
-	In modern editions, the formally anonymous [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is placed at the end of Paul's letters and before the [[General epistles]]. This practice was popularized through the 4th-century [[Vulgate]] by [[Jerome]], who was aware of ancient doubts about its [[authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews|authorship]], and is also followed in most medieval [[Byzantine text-type|Byzantine]] manuscripts. With hardly any exceptions, though, the manuscripts do include Hebrews somewhere among Paul's letters.<ref name="Trobisch" />	+
-		+
-	The placement of Hebrews among the Pauline epistles is less consistent in the manuscripts:	+
-	* between Romans and 1 Corinthians (i.e., in order by length without splitting the Epistles to the Corinthians): [[Papyrus 46]] and minuscules [[Minuscule 103|103]], [[Minuscule 455|455]], 1961, 1964, 1977, 1994.	+
-	* between 2 Corinthians and Galatians: minuscules 1930, 1978, and 2248	+
-	* between Galatians and Ephesians: implied by the numbering in [[Codex Vaticanus|B]]	+
-	* between 2 Thessalonians and 1 Timothy (i.e., before the Pastorals): [[Codex Sinaiticus|א]], [[Codex Alexandrinus|A]], [[Codex Vaticanus|B]], [[Codex Ephraemi|C]], [[Codex Coislinianus|H]], [[Codex Freerianus|I]], [[Codex Guelferbytanus A|P]], [[Uncial 0150|0150]], [[Uncial 0151|0151]], and about 60 minuscules (e.g. [[Minuscule 218|218]], [[Minuscule 632|632]])	+
-	* after Philemon: [[Codex Claromontanus|D]], [[Codex Vaticanus 2061|048]], [[Codex Laudianus|E]], [[Codex Mosquensis I|K]], [[Codex Regius (New Testament)|L]] and the majority of minuscules.	+
-	* omitted: [[Codex Augiensis|F]] and [[Codex Boernerianus|G]]	+
