This isn't really a question. I'm more sharing this for anyone interested in extra-Biblical books and the Greek text thereof. Third Corinthians was discovered toward the end of the 1800s in papyri from Egypt. It's provenance is actually kind of similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls. They found the manuscript (which also includes the earliest copy of 1-2 Peter and Jude, known as P72), in a jar at an ancient Christian gravesite.
The movie premieres Friday and will go into great detail about the Bodmer Papyrus, its features, background, and the Greek text of the letter.
PS: There seems to be a common misconception that turns people off from this topic that this letter is taken out of the Acts of Paul. The bodmer papyrus has the text by itself, and proved that Third Corinthians circulated on its own. So, the Acts of Paul included an already existing letter into its compilation. This is also addressed in the movie.
The teaser link for the movie is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnzZXYFzkV4
The actual movie will premiere here Friday at 7:00pm (CST): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxyFgdIlqxo
This movie is meant to be educational. There is also a Greek reading of the letter (using Ben Kantor's pronunciation scheme) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4HO9GPy0rA
Peace! Happy Greeking.
