A Textual Commentary On The Greek NT

1 Corinthians 6:11

1 Corinthians 6:11 VIhsou/ Cristou/ {C}

The readings with h`mw/n (B C^vid P 33 1739 it^{ar, r} vg syr^{p, h with *} cop^{sa, bo} arm eth al) appear to have arisen by scribal assimilation to the following h`mw/n. Even though the Textus Receptus, following A D^c Y 88 614 Byz Lect syr^h, has the shortest reading (VIhsou/), a majority of the Committee interpreted the absence of Cristou/ to be the result of an accident in transcription and preferred to read VIhsou/ Cristou/ with î^{11vid, 46} a D* P it^d Irenaeus^lat Tertullian, as well as the witnesses (except cop^sa) that are cited above for h`mw/n.

[Accidental omission of ,=u= is less probable than expansion of an original VIhsou/ by pious copyists (compare 1 Corinthians 5:4). B.M.M.]
