Philippians 1:11

Philippians 1:11 kai. e;painon qeou/ {A}

Although it is not easy to explain how such a wide variety of readings developed, there is little doubt that the original reading is kai. e;painon qeou/, which is supported by good representatives of several types of text, including the Alexandrian and the Western types (a A B D^c I K P Y 33 81 614 1739 Byz Lect it^{ar, d, r} vg syr^{p, h} cop^{sa, bo, fay} arm). Instead of qeou/, D^gr* 1962 read Cristou/ (,=u= for ;=u=), from which kai. e;painon auvtou/ (vg^ms) developed as a simplification of the redundancy of the two instances of Cristou/. Very remarkable is the reading kai. e;paino,n moi (F^gr G it^g), which has no parallel in Paul, and still more astonishing is the early conflate reading in î⁴⁶, qeou/ kai. e;painon evmoi,.
