1 Corinthians 5:2

1 Corinthians 5:2 pra,xaj

The Textus Receptus, following î⁴⁶ B D F G L P Y 049 056 0142 and most minuscules, reads poih,saj, whereas pra,xaj is read by î^11vid a A C 33 81 88 104 326 436 462 1912 al. The more literary word, pra,ssein, occurs 18 times in Paul’s letters; elsewhere in the New Testament, it occurs 20 times (18 times in Luke-Acts, and twice in John). Since the verb poiei/n occurs nearly six hundred times in the New Testament, and since the expression poiei/n e;rgon was very familiar to transcribers of the New Testament, they were more likely to replace pra,xaj with poih,saj than vice versa.
