Decision

✓ Approved

Printed: ἐγράφη
Confidence: high (team scale)
Significance: translation
Byz / TR: προεγράφη — open RP2018

Editorial decision: print ἐγράφη as the second verb, with SBLGNT, WH, Treg, and NA28. Confidence high: the shorter second verb has early and broad Greek support. Says On either second-verb reading, what was written beforehand was written for instruction. The first-verb form, πάντα εἰς, and the second διά are separate box lines; TR and RP agree on the second verb and differ on διά.

Evidence

7 sources

Editions: SBLGNT; RP2018 (Byz); Scrivener 1894 (TR). WH, Treg, and NA28 alignment follows the SBLGNT apparatus; NA28 is cited by reference only. Sigla: corrector notation follows Tischendorf, as explained in src.tischendorf-8.

This unit is only the second verb in 15:4. SBLGNT, WH, Treg, and NA28 print ἐγράφη. RP and TR print προεγράφη. The first verb is προεγράφη in SBLGNT, RP, and TR; that first-verb variation, the εἰς / πάντα εἰς unit, and the second διά are box lines below.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 443, leaf n450 (novumtestamentum02tisc); the first verb is on p. 442, leaf n449): the octava lemma at the top of p. 443 is διδασκαλίαν ἐγράφη, the shorter second verb. ἐγράφη (with Griesbach in the margin) with ℵ* B C D E F G, some minuscules (counted, not listed), d e f g, guelph, some Latin, vg, the Syriac (Schaaf), cop arm aeth go, Clement, Origen in two places, and Augustine against Faustus, among others. ς reads προεγράφη (L and P with the spelling -φει) with ℵc A L P and most others, the Peshitta, Chrysostom, Theodoret, Damascene, and Photius.

Minor variants (box lines; p. 442, leaf n449, and p. 443, leaf n450): 15:4 first verb προεγράφη / ἐγράφη: the octava and SBLGNT, RP, and TR begin the verse with προεγράφη, with ℵ A C Dc E L P and apparently all others, both Syriac versions, cop, and go (D* F G are cited for προσεγράφη, a related compound, not assigned to either first-verb form here); B, d e f g, some Latin, vg, arm aeth, Origen, and Ambrosiaster have ἐγράφη as the first verb, and B (also a few others, including P in one note) adds πάντα. 15:4 εἰς / πάντα εἰς: εἰς with Treg, NA28, RP, and in SBLGNT; πάντα εἰς with WH, matching the πάντα added in B and some others at the first verb. 15:4 second διά: καὶ διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως with ℵ A B C* L and others, the Syriac (Schaaf), arm aeth, and Theodoret in one place, with SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28, and RP; ς and Tischendorf’s earlier edition omit διά, with C-corr D E F G P and many others, Latin, vg, the Peshitta, cop, go, Clement, Chrysostom, and others, and TR omits that second διά. 15:5 Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν / Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν: Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν with B C² D E G L and more, d e g, guelph, cop, some Armenian manuscripts, go, Chrysostom, and Damascene, with SBLGNT, WH, NA28, RP, and TR; Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν with ℵ A C* F P, some minuscules, f vg, both Syriac versions, the Armenian edition, aeth, Origen, Didymus, Theodoret, and Ambrosiaster, with Tregelles.
