'Letter' in the Bible

and they took with them the following letter: "The Apostles and the elder brethren send greeting to the Gentile brethren throughout Antioch, Syria and Cilicia.

They, therefore, having been solemnly sent, came down to Antioch, where they called together the whole assembly and delivered the letter.

He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:

and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.

Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"

I, Tertius, who write this letter, send you Christian greetings.

I wrote to you in that letter that you were not to associate with fornicators;

I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.

And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.

Our letter of recommendation is yourselves--a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read.

For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God--and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

For if I gave you pain by that letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it then. I see that that letter, even though for a time it gave you pain, had a salutary effect.

I Paul add the greeting with my own hand, which is the credential in every letter of mine.

Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.

I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother--for such I regard him--in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

This letter which I am now writing to you, dear friends, is my second letter. In both my letters I seek to revive in your honest minds the memory of certain things,

Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.
