1 Thessalonians 2:15

1 Thessalonians 2:15 profh,taj {A}

The Textus Receptus reads ivdi,ouj profh,taj, following a variety of secondary witnesses (D^c K Y most minuscules syr^{p, h} goth al). Whether these somehow derived the reading from Marcion, who inserted the word in order to limit the reference to Jewish prophets, or whether they were influenced by ivdi,wn in the preceding verse, is immaterial for the present purpose. The shorter reading is decisively supported by the best representatives of several text-types (a A B D* G I P 33 81 1739 it vg cop^{sa, bo, fay} arm eth).
