In a way yes, as Greek was the language of learning and scholarship prior to Latin there would have been a number of people in the pan-hellenic world capable of reading Greek. It should come as no surprise that the first Christian bibles were written in Greek.

sort of… but not really
though the Roman emperor Constantine contributed to the spread of Christianity
(i don’t understand the question, you may want to ask a question rather than make a statement with a question mark at the end)

Saint Paul and associated proselytizers traveled the eastern Mediterranean world which had been Hellenized since the time of Alexander the Great ~ 330 BC. The early church fathers moved from city to city establishing the early Christian churches among the Greek and Hebrew communities. Paul wrote half of the bible’s New Testament. Note the letters of Paul in the New Testament:
Paul to the Corinthians – people of Corinth – Greek.
Paul to the Thessalonians – also Greeks
Paul to the Ephesians – Asia Minor, but also Greek
Paul to the Colossians – also Asia Minor, but also Greek
The early letters of the New Testament were all in Greek.
Three of the four gospels were probably originally written in Greek – - though it is hard to know for sure since we only have later fragments.
Translation of Christian texts to Latin came only much later
- – perhaps in the second century AD. By the time Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official Roman religion in the early 4th century, it had already been spreading for almost three hundred years.
