Romans 13:12

Romans 13:12 avpoqw,meqa {A}

Instead of avpoqw,meqa several Western witnesses read avpobalw,meqa (î⁴⁶ D*^{, 3} F G Old Latin vg). Since the use of avpoqe,sqai is normal in formulas of renunciation (see E. G. Selwyn, 1 Peter, pp. 394 ff.), and since the verb avpoba,llein recurs nowhere else in the Pauline Epistles and its middle voice is entirely absent from the New Testament, a majority of the Committee preferred the reading avpoqw,meqa.
