1 Corinthians 15:55

1 Corinthians 15:55 ni/koj* pou/ sou( qa,nate( to. ke,ntron* {B}

Two sets of variant readings are involved, both connected with the fact that in Hosea 13:14 the Septuagint differs from the Hebrew. The sequence ni/koj … ke,ntron, strongly supported by î⁴⁶ a* B C 1739*^vid vg cop^{sa, bo} al, is to be preferred to the reverse sequence, which arose from scribal assimilation to the text of the Septuagint. The reading a[|dh (a^c A^c K P Y 88 104 614 Byz syr^{p, h} goth arm al) is also an assimilation to the Septuagint; Paul never uses a[|dhj. The reading of î⁴⁶ B nei/koj (“strife, dispute”) is an itacistic error, having arisen from the similarity of pronunciation of ei and i.
