The reading adopted as text is strongly supported by (î⁴⁶) a A C P Y 0243 1739 1881 it^r vg syr^p cop^{sa, bo} eth al; it alone gives the needed connection between ver. 2 Corinthians 1:6 and ver. 2 Corinthians 1:7. The other main variant readings seem to have arisen when, through an oversight due to homoeoteleuton (paraklh,sewj to paraklh,sewj), the words kai. swthri,aj ei;te parakalou,meqa( u`pe.r th/j u`mw/n paraklh,sewj were accidentally omitted (as also happened in 81 104 630) and afterwards were written in the margin. A later copyist, in an ancestor of B (33) 1241, introduced the words at the beginning of ver. 2 Corinthians 1:7 after bebai,a u`pe.r u`mw/n and, in order to preserve the sense, transferred kai. swthri,aj to the end. Such a text also must lie behind D (G) (K) 0209 (614) 2492 Byz Lect it^{d, g, ar} goth al, in which, however, for reasons of symmetry, the words kai. swthri,aj have been introduced after the first paraklh,sewj. The Textus Receptus, which here is without known manuscript authority, reads paraklh,sewj kai. swthri,aj( th/j evnergoume,nhj evn u`pomonh|/ tw/n auvtw/n paqhma,twn w-n kai. h`mei/j pa,scomen\ ei;te parakalou,meqa( u`pe.r th/j u`mw/n paraklh, sewj kai. swthri,aj\ kai. h` evlpi.j h`mw/n bebai,a u`pe.r u`mw/n\ (7) eivdo,tej.…
