1 Corinthians 1:28

1 Corinthians 1:28 ta. mh. o;nta {B}

The presence of kai, before ta. mh. o;nta (a^c B C³ D^b P Y 81 614 Byz al) seems to be an interpolation prompted by the preceding series of objects, each joined to the next by kai, (see Blass-Debrunner-Funk, § 490). In adding the word, however, scribes overlooked the force of the expression ta. mh. o;nta, which (as Zahn points out, in loc.) is not another item of the series, but is a comprehensive and climactic characterization of all the preceding items. The shorter reading is strongly supported by î⁴⁶ a* A C* D* G 0129 33 1739 al.
