He (Paul) being a Hebrew wrote in Hebrew, that is, his own tongue and most fluently while things which were

The thing about Greek Primacy is that the scholars who believe in it begin with the belief of Greek primacy without seriously examining our arguments. I would say that the variances being explained by reading one Aramaic word multiple ways is the best evidence that we have, and it is, for obvious reasons, very important. I was reading on Wikipedia that Paul's Greek was impeccable, but I've never heard anyone else say that. I know Luke's Greek grammar was good, but not as good as Josephus.
