2 Peter 1:17 o` ui`o,j mou o` avgaphto,j mou ou-to,j evstin {B}

The original text appears to have been preserved only in î72 B (the Coptic and Ethiopic are ambiguous), all the other witnesses having conformed the reading to the traditional text in Matthew, ou-to,j evsti/n o` ui`o,j mou o` avgaphto,j ( Matthew 3:17; Matthew 17:5). The expanded reading of P 1175 (ou-to,j evstin o` ui`o,j mou o` avgaphto.j ou-to,j evstin) suggests that an ancestor of each read as î72 and B, but that when the assimilated reading was adopted the copyist overlooked deleting the words ou-to,j evstin at the close.
