Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.

Nor is there salvation in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven which has been given among men
by which we must be saved."

The Robinson-Pierpont text omits the phrase υπο τον ουρανον "under heaven." There is no footnote about this even in the NA28. Is this a case of homoioteleuton, νον to νον? In Acts, I generally go against the Nestle-Aland text when all the 10th century minuscules are against it. But here, they, 33 181 1175 1611 1739 1891, are all with it, and against the Robinson-Pierpont text. The RP text does not even have the Harklean Syriac this time.

shineth unto the other

That Christ also is called a Stone.
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye have crucified, whom God hath raised up from the dead, by Him he stands whole in your presence, but by none other. This is the stone which was despised by you builders, which has become the head of the corner.
For there is no other name given to men under heaven in which we must be saved.”

Anonymous Treatise on Rebaptism
Nor, as I think, was it for any other reason that the apostles had charged those whom they addressed in the Holy Spirit, that they should be baptized in the name of Christ Jesus, except that the power of the name of Jesus invoked upon any man by baptism might afford to him who should be baptized no slight advantage for the attainment of salvation, as
Peter relates in the Acts of the Apostles, saying: "For there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."[15]
Acts of Saint Philip the Apostle When He Went to Upper Hella
For when my Lord came into this world, He chose us, being twelve in number, having filled us with the Holy Spirit; from His light He made us know who He was, and commanded us to preach all salvation through Him, because
there is no other name named out of heaven than this.
Augustine - 5,6,7,8
on the Trinity
Since by the harmonious testimony of the
Divine Scriptures, both Old and New, both those by which Christ was foretold, and those by which He was announced, there is no other name under heaven whereby men must be saved

Chrysostom:
Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle to the Romans
A Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles
Homily X on Acts iv. 1.
Neither is there salvation in any other, (
v. 12.) Peter says. What wounds, think you, must these words inflict on them!
“For there is none other name,” he continues, “under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Thus “Neither,” says he,
“is there any other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.” (
v. 12.) It is manifest to all, he says, because not to us alone was that Name given; he cites even themselves as witnesses.
Chrysostom:
Homilies on 1 Timothy.
1 Timothy 1:15,16
. What means then, “To the King immortal, invisible, the only wise . God”? Or when it is said,
“There is no other name whereby we must be saved”: and again,
“There is salvation in no other”?

To the notables of Neocæsarea.
On one side I am attacked by the Anomœan: on the other by the Sabellian. Do not, I implore you, pay any attention to these abominable and impotent sophisms. Know that the name of Christ which is above every name is His being called Son of God, as
Peter says, “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” 2. And as to the words “I came in my Father’s name,” it is to be understood that He so says describing His Father as origin and cause of Himself.

Book I.
Chapter XIII. St. Ambrose shows from the Scriptures that the Name of the Three Divine Persons is one, and first the unity of the Name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, inasmuch as each is called Paraclete and Truth.
Thus it comes to pass that the Name of the Father and of the Son is also that of the Holy Spirit.
For there is no other Name given under heaven wherein we must be saved.960

Book V.
Chapter II. Since it has been proved that the Son is true God, and in that is not inferior to the Father, it is shown that by the word solus (alone) when used of the Father in the Scriptures, the Son is not excluded; nay, that this expression befits Him above all, and Him alone. The Trinity is alone, not amongst all, but above all. The Son alone does what the Father does, and alone has immortality. But we must not for this reason separate Him from the Father in our controversies. We may, however, understand that passage of the Incarnation. Lastly the Father is shut out from a share in the redemption of men by those who would have the Son to be separated from Him.
But if they wish to separate the Son, when they read that the Father is the only true God, I suppose that when they read of the Incarnation of the Son: “This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner;” and further:
“There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved;” . then they imagine the Father is to be cut off from the benefit of imparting salvation to us. But there is neither salvation without the Father, nor eternal life without the Son.
Leo the Great x2
