Read the full account
In 2012 the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft issued NA28, with online reading via academic-bible. Paul did not collate minuscules. Access to a citable Greek text is the path.
Context
A critical text also freezes one apparatus. It still lets readers check household codes against variants.
Paul the Apostle is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
Why it matters
A 2012 NA28 is not a 50s autograph.
