Acts 5:31

Acts 5:31

The Western reading, “God exalted him for his glory” (th|/ do,xh| auvtou/), supported by D it^{gig, p} cop^sa Irenaeus Augustine, seems to be an ancient transcriptional error (doxy for dexia). Nestle ¹⁴² draws attention to the same confusion in the manuscripts of the Septuagint at 2 Chronicles 30:8 and Isaiah 62:8.

The presence of evn auvtw|/ (D* it^{d, h, p} cop^sa eth^ro Augustine) after a;fesin a`martiw/n appears to be a typical Western expansion. (See also the next variant.)
