There are 3 great uncial codices (Codex Sinaiticus/4th century, Codex Vaticanus/4th century, and Codex Alexandrinus/5th century) that contain the entire text of the Greek Bible (both Old and New Testaments) and 1 that is not in complete condition (codex Ephraemi Rescriptus/5th century).

Are there original copies of Paul's letters?

No, there are no original autographs of Paul's letters in existence today. The earliest surviving copies that we have are from within a few centuries of when they were written. These copies have been carefully preserved and studied by scholars to reconstruct the original texts as accurately as possible.


During New Testament times copies of the old testament were?

The Old Testament was the scripture used by the New Testament Christians. They read it quoted from it and preached Jesus out of it. Paul, being a pharisee and thus knew it as well as any proved who Jesus was from it:1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 2And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 3Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. Peter used the Old Testament book of Joel in his Pentecost sermon and Stephen when stoned rehearsed much of the Old Testament history. These accounts give a 'snapshot' of what much of the New Testament preaching and teaching must have been like.Another example is how Philip used Isaiah, being read by the Ethiopian official, to speak about Jesus. Jesus Himself used it often of course in His teaching and interpreted it rightly, in contrast to the teachers of His day.


Are there any original complete manuscripts of the Gospels in the New Testament?

AnswerWhile we can make reasonable estimates of when the gospels were first written - Mark in 70, Matthew around 80-90, Luke around 95 or perhaps a few years later, John early in the second century - we do not have any of the earliest manuscripts, or even the early copies made from those manuscripts. All we have is copies made centuries later, and these unfortunately contain the inevitable changes and revisions of the centuries. One of the very earliest known copies of the gospels and Acts is called Papyrus 45 and is dated to around 225 CE.


How many papyrus manuscripts of the new testament have been cataloged?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! There have been over 130 papyrus manuscripts of the New Testament cataloged so far. Each one is like a unique little tree in a beautiful forest of ancient texts, each with its own story to tell. Just imagine all the history and wisdom waiting to be discovered within those delicate pages.
