The Corrupting of Luke and Paul's Epistles

The original church that would have published it to these other distributing churches from Paul would have likely been the church at Ephesus no doubt. Marcian is seeking to corrupt and he's giving you the motive of Marcian here that he is actually falsifying its title on purpose to make himself out to be intelligent. And finally the Gnostic, Irenaeus ends up quoting him again a mid-second century time. He says this also Paul declares in these words for what so ever does make manifest is like quoting Ephesians 513. So there was some sort of connection with Ephesians and the church of Laodicea that Marcian wanted to use to exploit something.
