Ephesians 5:30

Ephesians 5:30 auvtou/ {A}

Although it is possible that the shorter text, which is supported by early and good witnesses (including î⁴⁶ a* A B 33 81 1739* cop^{sa, bo}), may have arisen by accidental omission occasioned by homoeoteleuton (auvtou/ … auvtou/), it is more probable that the longer readings reflect various scribal expansions derived from Genesis 2:23 (where, however, the sequence is “bone…flesh”), anticipatory to the quotation of Genesis 2:24 in ver. Ephesians 5:31.
