To: one Lord one faith one baptism

When we call on someone, we use their true name, unless we are rude or ignorant (or both).

A reader asks:Why do we call him Jesus if his name is Yeshua? Jewish people say that our Lord Jesus' real Hebrew name is Yeshua. If it is true, then why are people worshiping him in the wrong name? The reader is not the first person to ask this question. Some religious movements have argued that we worship the wrong Savior if we do not call him by his Hebrew name, Yeshua. Answer: He is correct in saying Yeshua is the Hebrew name for the Lord. It means "Yahweh [the Lord] is Salvation." The English spelling of Yeshua is “Joshua.” However, when translated from Hebrew into the Greek language, the name Yeshua becomes Iēsous. The English spelling for Iēsous is “Jesus.” from about.com Christianity

when Paul refers to Jesus in his epistles, does he use 1. Yeshua? or Iēsous?
