The Authentication of Paul's Letters

In 2:2 Paul warns against letters that claim to come from him but do not. In 11 places in his letters Paul either identifies himself or gives his signature. This supports the conclusion that all of the NT letters attributed to Paul are in fact authentic, rather than having been written by someone else in Paul's name.

I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand
I, Paul, myself entreat you
Look: I, Paul, say to you
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand
I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus
of which I, Paul, became a minister
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand
we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again
not to be... alarmed... by... a letter seeming to be from us
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write
I, Paul, write this with my own hand
