1 Peter 3:15

1 Peter 3:15 to.n Cristo,n {A}

In place of Cristo,n the Textus Receptus substitutes qeo,n, with the later uncials (K L P) and most minuscules. The reading Cristo,n, however, is strongly supported by early and diversified external evidence (î⁷² a A B C Y 33 614 1739 it^ar vg syr^{p, h} cop^{sa, bo} arm Clement), as well as by transcriptional probability, the more familiar expression (ku,rion to.n qeo,n) replacing the less usual expression (ku,rion to.n Cristo,n). The omission of to.n Cristo,n in the patristic treatise de Promissionibus attributed to Quodvultdeus must be due to accidental oversight on the part of either translator or copyist.
