The so-called Epistle to the Hebrews is definitely not written by Paul, and is not even explicitly attributed to him. For centuries, many Christians counted it as the fourteenth work in the Pauline corpus, mainly because the epistolary ending mentions Timothy, Paul's closest associate (see Heb 13:23).
The Pauline epistles are the thirteen books in the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle.

The conclusion of the letter lists a whole set of persons (4:9-21).
according to one of the "Pastoral Letters," Paul had Timothy stay in Ephesus to guide and teach the church there (1Tim 1:1-3; 4:11-16). Titus: one of Paul's closest associates, mentioned 13 times in the Pauline and deutero-Pauline letters (but curiously never in Acts).
