Though Jesus was a Jew, lived as a Jew, prayed as a Jew, taught prayer as a Jew (Our Father), and died as thousands of other Jews had died before him, on a Roman cross.

That the sense of him was Hellenize by Paul (though also a Jew), and carried into "gospel" form of which he was unaware doesn't alter that history from which he drew fluently in his lifetime.

Thus he also would have had some sense of Deuteronomy 4:19 and Malachi 1:11 (prior to their numerated versification of course.)

All Good....

What this "Hellenization" by Saint Paul consisted of? Could you specify?
