“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.' — the exclusivity is absolute: no other name (onoma, name, person, identity, authority) given by God (didōmi, given) works salvation (sōzō, save, rescue, heal, deliver). This is not intolerant but truth-claim: Jesus alone is the means of salvation; no other person, power, or ideology can save. The universality ('under heaven,' pan ouranos, all heaven) emphasizes the cosmic scope of this claim.
