Letters of Paul are scripture
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you, as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things.

Was the Bible distorted?
Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly?
The Quran claims the Jews distorted the 'word.' Some today say this refers to the written Torah, but the Arabic used here is 'kaleem [word] of Allah' as opposed to tawrat (the Arabic word for Torah, as used in other passages like Quran 3.93 and Quran 5.43). Such a claim is hardly controversial – to acknowledge that many have distorted God's words in their own distinct teaching or writings. Many groups, such as the gnostics, have been guilty of this, yet they have not succeeded in distorting the words of the Bible itself.
