Titus 3:9

Titus 3:9 e;reij

On the one hand, from the point of view of transcriptional probability it is more likely that copyists would have altered e;rin to e;reij, in agreement with the plurals before and after it, than vice versa. On the other hand, external evidence appears to favor the plural form: e;reij (or its phonetic equivalent, e;rij) is supported by A C K L P 075 0142 most minuscules it^{d, g} vg syr^{p, h} cop^{sa, bo}, whereas e;rin (or its phonetic equivalent e;rein) is supported by a* D^gr* F G Y 999 arm eth al. A majority of the Committee preferred to be guided in its judgment by the weight of the external evidence (which includes all versions except the Ethiopic), especially since the context seems to call for a reference to a plurality of disagreements.
