1 Corinthians 6:20

1 Corinthians 6:20 dh,

Among several variant readings involving dh, is (a) the interesting expansion, preserved in Latin witnesses (it^g vg Marcion (Tertullian) Cyprian Lucifer Ambrosiaster Speculum al), Glorificate et portate Deum in corpore vestro (“Glorify and bear God in your body”). Apparently this reading arose (in Greek) when a;ra ge was misread as a;rate (arage @ arate). Other variant readings include (b) ou=n, syr^p cop^sa Pseudo-Athanasius; (c) a;ra ge before doxa,sate, 1611; (d) dh. a;rate, Chrysostom; (e) omission of any particle, a* it^d syr^{h with *} cop^bo. Although the Committee acknowledged that the clause may have originally lacked a connective and that subsequently the abrupt anacoluthon was remedied by the addition of one or another particle, the overwhelming evidence in support of dh, (î⁴⁶ a^a A B C D F G K L P and almost all minuscules) requires that it be regarded as the earliest definitely ascertainable text (even though Paul nowhere else uses this particle).
