The Book of First Peter was written by the Apostle Peter during his time as Bishop of Rome to the churches of Asia Minor to address the problems of suffering and persecution. He counsels them to be steadfast under trials and explains some of the reasons why Christians suffer persecution.

The Book of First Corinthians is the seventh book of the New Testament. This epistle contains some of the best-known phrases in the New Testament, including "all things to all men", "without love, I am nothing", "through a glass, darkly", and "when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child". Throughout the letter, Paul presents issues that are troubling the Corinthian church and offers ways to fix them.

According to tradition, Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians while he was in prison in Rome around AD 62. Paul gives practical advice in how to live a holy, pure, and Christ inspired lifestyle. The unity of the church, especially between Jew and Gentile believers, is the keynote of the book. Ephesians is also notable for its domestic code covering husband-wife, parent-child, and master-slave relationships. Many devotional thoughts and sermons that are addressed to the practically minded individual have been drawn from this section of the New Testament.

The book of Colossians was written to the church in Colossae, a small Phrygian city near Laodicea and approximately 100 miles from Ephesus in Asia Minor. Like some of his other epistles, this seems to have been written because of reports Paul had heard of the internal state of the church there. During the first generation after Jesus, Paul's epistles to various churches helped establish early Christian theology.

The Book of Galatians is a letter from Paul of Tarsus to a number of early Christian communities that he had founded in the Roman province of Galatia. After Paul's departure, the churches were led astray from Paul's teachings by individuals proposing "another gospel" which centered around salvation through the Mosaic law. The Galatians appear to have been receptive to the teaching of these newcomers, and the epistle is Paul's angry response to what he sees as their willingness to turn from his teaching.
