1 John 5:13

1 John 5:13 u`mi/n

After u`mi/n the Textus Receptus, following K L P most minuscules, reads toi/j pisteu,ousin eivj to. o;noma tou/ ui`ou/ tou/ qeou/( i[na eivdh/te o[ti zwh.n e;cete aivw,nion( kai. i[na pisteu,hte eivj to. o;noma tou/ ui`ou/ tou/ qeou/. Although one could argue that the shorter reading arose in order to remove the redundancy of toi/j pisteu,ousin … i[na pisteu,hte, it is more likely that the reading of the earlier witnesses (a* B syr) is original, especially since i[na pisteu,hte seems to have arisen as a scribal assimilation to the statement in John 20:31.
