Titus 2:5

Titus 2:5 oivkourgou,j

Instead of the word oivkourou,j (a^c D^c H L P most minuscules most Fathers, followed by the Textus Receptus), which occurs frequently in classical Greek, a* A C D* F G I 33 177 330 623 Clement of Rome al read oivkourgou,j, which occurs elsewhere only in Soranus, a medical writer of the second century A.D. A majority of the Committee preferred the latter reading because of superior external support, and because it was regarded more probable that an unusual word should have been altered by copyists to a well-known word, than vice versa.

The text may be punctuated with or without a comma after oivkourgou,j.
