2 Peter 1:21

2 Peter 1:21 avpo. qeou/ {A}

The reading that best accounts for the origin of the others is avpo. qeou/, which is read by î⁷² B P 614 1739 syr^h cop^bo arm al. The reading a[gioi qeou/ (a K Y 33 Byz al) appears to be secondary, being either (a) an emendation that commended itself to copyists because it gives greater prominence to the idea of holiness, or (b) the result of palaeographical confusion, apo;=u= having been taken for agioi;=u=. The two readings are combined in differing conflations in C 81 ù⁸⁰⁹ al.
