'Letter' in the Bible

Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

And they sent a letter by them, saying, The Apostles and the older brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, may joy be with you:

So they, being sent away, came down to Antioch, and having got the people together, they gave them the letter.

But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body.

And he sent a letter in these words:

And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.

And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

I, Tertius, who have done the writing of this letter, send love in the Lord.

In my letter I said to you that you were not to keep company with those who go after the desires of the flesh;

But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge;

For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.

For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,

And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.

That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

So then, brothers, be strong in purpose, and keep the teaching which has been given to you by word or by letter from us.

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it.

My loved ones, this is now my second letter to you, and in this as in the first, I am attempting to keep your true minds awake;

I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.

I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there.

My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.
