Fact: Letter to Laodicea

Paul’s letter to Laodicea was probably lost, though some think it could be the same letter as Ephesians. Regardless, Paul expected that his letter to the Colos­sians would also be read aloud to the Laodiceans (4:15–16). Laodicea and Colossae were about 9 miles (14.5 km) apart (see also Rev. 1:11; 3:14).
