1 Corinthians 7:15

1 Corinthians 7:15 u`ma/j {B}

Although h`ma/j seems to have slightly stronger external support (î<sup>46</sup> B D G 33 104 614 1739 it vg syr<sup>p, h</sup> cop<sup>sa, fay</sup>), the Committee preferred u`ma/j (a* A C 81 326 2127 cop^bo), since the general tendency of scribes is to make modifications in the interest of generalizing the reference of aphorisms (as, in fact, has occurred here in codex Sinaiticus). In later Greek the two words were pronounced alike.
