The Greek word ‘en’ translated as ‘to’ is an error. ‘En’ has the meaning of ‘in’ or ‘by means of’. This error has important implications for the understanding of Paul’s story and the reason for his relaying it. 72.131.111.189 (talk) 04:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Take it up with Crossway, I suppose?
(Come to think of it, a Wikipedia-native Bible translation project would be something else. Remsense留 04:26, 3 December 2023 (UTC))[reply]
Does anyone have access to that letter? Or does anyone know more about his supposed claim of Damascene origin ? Whatsupkarren (talk) 17:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, it's in the Bible, & therefore (ahem) quite widely available - see here. The statement he makes re Damascus is not that clear however. Johnbod (talk) 18:51, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citation 65 - Incorrectly states that Greek was Paul's native language[edit]
The work cited to support the claim that Paul spoke Greek as his first language, rather than Aramaic, actually says just the opposite to what is claimed. On page 43 in Bruce, Frederick Fyvie (2000). Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free. Eerdmans. ISBN 978-0-8028-4778-2. - that author states "Aramaic, and not Greek, was the language spoken in his (Paul's) home." Also stating - "it is a fair inference that it (Aramaic) was his mother tongue." The work cited says just the opposite of the claim it is cited to support. 176.88.102.25 (talk) 11:38, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch. I have looked at the source and changed the wording in order to reflect what was actually written. Vyselink (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the introductory paragraph says that Paul spread the teachings of Jesus, and cites 'powell 2009.' this statement is untrue, and what is this work? 2600:6C46:537F:8A12:A1D0:C5BF:22C2:4DCA (talk) 06:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
