And salvation is in no other: for neither is another name given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved.

LITV Translation:
and there is salvation in no other One, for neither is there any other name under Heaven having been given among men by which we must be saved.

The Salvation Wiped Out

If you can't be trusted with the small, how can you be trusted with the great?

The Greek reads ἡ σωτηρία, a feminine noun with the definite article, indicating a specific, identified salvation — not salvation in a general or abstract sense. Koine Greek often uses the article to mark a particular instance, title, or concept previously introduced or assumed to be known to the audience. English translations have erased “the” rendering simply “salvation,” obscuring the definiteness implied in the Greek. A more precise rendering would preserve the article as “the salvation.”

The precise rendering of ἐν ἀνθρώποις is "within men" not "among men" two concepts completely opposed. The idiomatic rendering implies a name separate of men, the precise rendering implies a name within men.
