Anybody in mind?

Are those word counts in English or Greek ?

Interesting, how does it not seem to be his style of writing?

There is possibly more to the story regarding Paul's writings.

Some of the epistles traditionally attributed to him may have been coauthored, as follows:

1 Corinthians 1:1-2a,

1. Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2. Unto the church of God which is at Corinth...

2 Corinthians 1:1,

1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth...

1 Thessalonians 1:1,

1. Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ...

2 Thessalonians 1:1,

1. Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ...

Philemon 1:1,

1. Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer...

Each instance of "and" in these verses has a copulative effect, making the preposition "unto" require the sense that the respective epistle in question was co-authored.

To what amount is not to be known, but these letters weren't simply the work of Paul by himself.

Most (if not all) ancient documents were co authored. One would dictate, while the other wrote it down. Sometimes two wrote down what was being dictated.

2 Peter seems to have been written by someone other than Peter. So he could have dictated it.

If others cowrote Pauline literature, there is no stylistic evidence to support it.

Does anyone around here ever attempt to prove what they post?

I would appreciate it if you show us how these statements are true, are probable, or just a thought.

Please I really mean you no offense, but how do we come up with this stuff?

The vocal and style of 2 Peter is very different than 1 Peter.

I have never read of anyone who thought Paul cowrote his literature.
