2 Corinthians 5:17

2 Corinthians 5:17 kaina, {A}

Since the following sentence begins with ta. de. pa,nta, one could argue that the original reading was kaina. ta. pa,nta (D^c K P Y 629 Byz^pt Lect syr^h goth eth^pp Marcion al) and that the reading kaina, originated when the eye of a scribe accidentally passed over the first ta. pa,nta. Such an explanation, however, does not account for the reading ta. pa,nta kaina,, and it also pays insufficient attention to the age and character of the witnesses that support the shorter reading kaina, (î⁴⁶ a B C D* G 1739 it^{d, g, r} vg syr^{(p), pal} cop^{sa, bo} arm eth^ro Clement Origen). In view of the following ta. de. pa,nta, it was perhaps natural that copyists should enhance the meaning of kaina, by prefixing or by adding ta. pa,nta.
