Ephesians 1:6

Ephesians 1:6 h-j

The Textus Receptus, following a^c D G K L y most minuscules it^{d, g} vg syr^h goth, substitutes evn h|- for h-j. The latter reading was preferred by a majority of the Committee on the basis of (a) the weight of external support (î⁴⁶ a* A B P 6 33 88 330 424^c 436 1319 1837 1908 2127 Origen Chrysostom Euthalius) and (b) the probability that copyists would have been more likely to replace the more difficult construction (h-j stands by attraction for h[n, the cognate accusative) with one that is less difficult, than vice versa.
