1 Corinthians 1:2

1 Corinthians 1:2 th|/ ou;sh| evn Kori,nqw|( h`giasme,noij evn Cristw|/ VIhsou/

On the one hand, a minority of the Committee argued that the reading adopted for the text, which is supported by î^{61 vid} a A D¹ P Y 049 (056 0142 om. VIhsou/) and apparently all minuscules, is secondary, since it is the easier of the two variants. On the other hand, however, the reading h`giasme,noij evn Cristw|/ VIhsou/ th|/ ou;sh| evn Kori,nqw|, though supported by a notable combination of witnesses (î⁴⁶ B D^{*, 2} F G), appeared to the majority of the Committee to be intrinsically too difficult, as well as quite un-Pauline in comparison with the style of the salutations in other Pauline letters. The reading apparently arose through the accidental omission of one or more phrases and their subsequent reintroduction at a wrong position.
