Can anybody tell me if "who is also Paul" is in the oldest Greek or Aramaic text of Acts 13:9? THE SCRIPTURES 1998 version does not have this phrase in Acts 13:9, nor do they ever use the name Paul at any time. I am wondering was Shaul ever really called Paul or is THE SCRIPTURES 1998 version being silly? I checked ever translation I could and only THE SCRIPTURE 1998 version has left this out and consistantly calls Shaul Shaul where others call him Paul.
(I do not have copys of the Anceint Text muchless could I read them at this point in time, so telling me to go check it out myself is not fessible)
