Quite a number of generations of that letter are in existence today, proving Yeshua’s complete and total condemnation of Phariseeism (a forerunner of today's Nicolaitanism that is called christianity)

To be clear...you're saying we have original copies or copies of Matthew in Hebrew or Greek?

[Luircin]

Of course he doesn’t.

But don’t call him out on it; all he’ll do is insult your intelligence and then lie about it after the mods delete his insult.

We have what we have of all scripture: reliable copies of an original letter, hand copied by a believer.

As Papias stated, Matthew wrote in his native tongue, and others copied it and translated it as best they could.

That is how all of the NT has been carried forward.

There exist extensive collections of the letters of early Christians such as ‘The Ante-Nicene Fathers’. They quoted so extensively from the NT that the NT could be reconstructed from these sources alone had all NT copies themselves been lost. Koine Greek was the dominant language. IIRC British scholar FF Bruce’s ‘The New Testament Documents’ and his ‘Canon of Scripture’ are an excellent source on all of this.
