2 Corinthians 6:16

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

2 Corinthians 6:16 h`mei/j ga.r nao.j qeou/ evsmen {B}

The reading h`mei/jevsmen, strongly supported by both Alexandrian and Western witnesses (a* B D* 33 81* itd copsa, bo al), is to be preferred to u`mei/jevste (î46 C Dc G K Y 614 Byz Lect itg, ar vg syrp, h goth arm al), since the latter reading was very naturally suggested by the recollection of 1 Corinthians 3:16 as well as by the context (verses 2 Corinthians 6:14 and 2 Corinthians 6:17), while there was no reason for putting h`mei/jevsmen in its stead. The plural naoi, (a* 0243 1739 Clement Augustine) is a pedantic correction.
