James 5:4

James 5:4 avpesterhme,noj {A}

The manuscripts present three readings, avfusterhme,noj (a B*) and two forms of avposterei/n, the perfect tense, avpesterhme,noj (A B² P Y al), and the present tense, avposterh,menoj (K L al). A majority of the Committee preferred to read avpesterhme,noj.

[The earliest reading appears to be the rare word avfusterhme,noj, which copyists emended to a more familiar word. B.M.M.]
