Bible Question:
Greetings Justanotherchristian! One quick problem, if I may! The first part of v. 8 is also part of the disputed text. In your response as to why leaving the disputed text of v. 7 out, you arbitrarily leave the rest of the disputed text in and then use it as evidence that the first part should remain. The fact that the first quote appears in the 4th century only affirms that the spurious reading was older than the tenth century - originally. However, it does not provide support that the reading is original since the fact remains that the reading only occurs in 4 manuscripts (2 of which have the reading written in the margin), none of which are older than the 10th century. So, allow me to ask: If the reading were original, why is it not found in any of the thousands of manuscripts before the 10th century? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
