Extract

This article is concerned to demonstrate the possibility that two texts in I Corinthians (xii. 3 and xvi. 22) were at a very early date misunderstood by a copyist unfamiliar with a formula which St Paul was using, and which he changed, perhaps unconsciously and certainly without tendentiousness, to the nearest lettering which would be known to him.

page 272 note 1 It cannot be said that the efforts of the commentators are too happy. Cf., for examples, Robertson, A. T., I Corinthians, International Critical Commentary (London, 1911):Google Scholar it is suggested that ϕиλεί in I Cor. xvi. 22 is ‘lower than άυαтάω’1, and means ‘having an affection for’. Not only is ϕιυείν extensively used in the Johannine letters, but there is in addition a matter of spirtitual concern. Not many of us would make bold to claim an affection for the Lord, even though in the strictest sense we might claim to love him.
