Luke 12:31

Luke 12:31 auvtou/ {B}

It is more likely that auvtou/ was replaced by tou/ qeou/ (as has in fact happened in codex Bezae) than vice versa. The reading tou/ qeou/ kai. th.n dikaiosu,nhn auvtou/ is an intrusion from the parallel in Matthew 6:33. One of the idiosyncrasies of the scribe of î⁷⁵ is his tendency to omit personal pronouns. ¹²

¹² So Ernest C. Colwell, “Scribal Habits in Early Papyri: A Study in the Corruption of the Text,” in The Bible in Modern Scholarship, ed. by J. Philip Hyatt (Nashville, 1965), p. 385, who states that the scribe of î⁷⁵ “drops more than a dozen [personal pronouns], and adds one.”
