A Textual Commentary On The Greek NT

1 Peter 1:9

1 Peter 1:9 @u`mw/n# {C}

Because in later Greek the vowels h and u came to be pronounced alike, scribes would sometimes write u`mw/n when they meant to write h`mw/n, and vice versa. Since the context of this section in 1 Peter employs the second person plural, the Committee preferred the reading u`mw/n. Nevertheless, because B and several other witnesses lack the pronoun altogether, the Committee considered it advisable to enclose u`mw/n within square brackets.
