One is the epistle of Colossions.

While Paul was imprisoned around 61 AD he was asked for help in dealing with false teaching that had crept into the Church at Colosse. The false teaching was similar to an early form of Gnosticism which taught that Jesus was not fully God and fully man , but one of the semi-divine beings that provided a gap or chasm between God and world and therefore as such He was lacking the authority and ability to meet the needs of the church.

In Chapter 2,v.8-9, Paul states ...."Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ. For in Himdwells all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily.

Also in Paul's epistle to the Philippians, he warned against dangerous heresies (false teachings) that were threatening this church which was again, most likely Gnosticism.
