Would Paul write to greek communities in Aramaic?

Hi Sarah,

I also find this an intriguing subject.
His mothertongue would be the most obvious language to write letters. It was known about Paul that his letters were well written.
In most congregations where Jewish Christians, and why could they not read it as Jews today in a synagoge most certainly could read a Hebrew letter if somebody would want to use that language.

My bet is that Pauls letters which contain 'marya' originally were written in Aramaic, but the ones without, might have been translated from Greek to Aramaic. But this is wild speculation.
