2 Peter 1:3

2 Peter 1:3 ivdi,a| do,xh| kai. avreth|/ {B}

Although the reading of the Textus Receptus dia. do,xhj kai. avreth/j is an exceedingly ancient reading (î⁷² B, and K L most minuscules), a majority of the Committee preferred ivdi,a| do,xh| kai. avreth|/ (a A C P Y 33 81 614 1739 it^{h, r} vg syr^{ph, h, pal} cop^{sa, bo} arm (Speculum)) on the strength of the following considerations: (a) it is attested by a broad spectrum of witnesses, including all ancient versions; (b) the presence of several other instances of dia, in the context makes it more likely that dia, would have been written by mistake for ivdi,a| than vice versa; and (c) i;dioj is a favorite word with the author of 2 Peter, occurring six other times in three chapters.
