2 Corinthians 12:7

2 Corinthians 12:7 dio, {C}

Although dio, is absent from such important witnesses as î⁴⁶ D Y 88 614 it^{d, ar} vg syr^{p, h} cop^sa goth, the Committee preferred to retain the word in the text as the more difficult reading, attested, as it is, by Alexandrian and other witnesses (a A B G 33 81 1739 it^g Euthalius). The excision of the conjunction seems to have occurred when copyists mistakenly began a new sentence with kai. th|/ u`perbolh|/ tw/n avpokalu,yewn, instead of taking these words with the preceding sentence.
