Some teach that the Epistle that we call "Ephesians"
may have been the one referred to by Paul as the Laodicean epistle. Some old copies of Ephesians have a blank space in verse one of chapter one where others have the word "Ephesus." Both Colossians and Ephesians along with Philippians and Philemon are thought to have been written by Paul when he was under arrest in Rome during the years AD 60 and 62 (Ref
Acts 28).
