1 John 5:6 ai[matoj {A}

The original reading appears to be ai[matoj, which is well supported by a variety of witnesses, including representatives of both the Alexandrian and the Western types of text (B Y 1739* itr vg syrp Tertullian al). Copyists who recalled John 3:5 (evx u[datoj kai. pneu,matoj) introduced pneu,matoj either (a) as a substitution for ai[matoj (43 241 463 945 1241 1831 1877* 1891) or as an addition (b) before ai[matoj (P 81 88 442 630 915 2492 arm eth) or (c) after ai[matoj (a A 104 424c 614 1739c 2412 syrh copsa, bo Origen), occasionally appending a`gi,ou after pneu,matoj (39 61 326 1837).
