Line 399: Line 399:
God is often changed to "''he''" or "''who''" in most modern translations. This is because in some [[Greek]] manuscripts the word Theós (θεος) in Greek capitals (θEOΣ) was shortened to make room, and was written as θΣ with a line above it (and sometimes without one in it OΣ). Without the line above it (or in it), OΣ simply means "''who''".

:Here he speaks of the Dispensation in our behalf. Tell me not of the bells, nor of the holy of holies, nor of the high priest. The Church is the pillar of the world. Consider this mystery, and you may be struck with awe: for it is indeed a great mystery, and a mystery of godliness, and that without controversy or question, for it is beyond all doubt. Since in his directions to the Priests he had required nothing like what is found in Leviticus he refers the whole matter to Another, saying, God was manifest in the flesh. The Creator was seen incarnate. (Homily XI on First Timothy) [https://books.google.com.au/books?id=C4PYAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false]

In one manuscript, [[Codex Alexandrinus]] the line faded, although history testifies that the line was there. and also there are well over 300 other manuscripts that contain the horizontal lines, and which therefore testify unmistakably to Theos, or "God", it is omitted and replaced for "''he''" or "''who''".

:Quod manifestum est in carne.) graece secus est, θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, id est, deus manifestatus est in carne, et quae sequuntur, ad deum referenda sunt. Ambrosius et vulgatus interpres legerunt pro θεὸς ὅ, id est quod. Secus legunt Chrysostomus et Vulgarius, quos si sequi volumus, genera participiorum mutanda sunt, iustificatus, praedicatus, creditus, assumptus. Caeterum utra lectio sit verior ambigo nonnihil. Offendit Laurentium quomodo mysterium dicatur assumptum in gloriam. At cur non magis offendit, quod deus dicitur iustificatus? Id quod ne in Christum quidem prima fonte satis congruit. Siquidem de Christo interpretatur Ambro. Mihi subolet, deum additum fuisse adversus hereticos Arrianos. Caeterum mea quidem sententia simplicissima fuerit interpretatio, si quis mysterium intelligat praedicationem euangelii, quod saepe alias mysterium vocat, prius occultum et ignotum, nunc manifestatum universo mundo.

In ''[[An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture]]'' (posthumously published in 1754), [[Isaac Newton]] argues that a small change to early Greek versions of this verse effectively changed "which" (referring to godliness) was changed to "God". This change increases textual support for [[trinitarianism]], a doctrine to which [[Religious views of Isaac Newton|Newton did not subscribe]].

The plain fact concerning Cod. A is this - That at 1 Tim. iii. 16, two delicate horizontal strokes in THEOS which were thoroughly patent in [[1628 AD|1628]], which could be seen plainly down to [[1737 AD|1737]], and which were discernible by an expert (Dr. Woide) so late as [[1765 AD|A.D. 1765]], have for the last hundred years entirely disappeared, which is precisely what Berriman in [[1741 AD|1741]] predicted would be the case.” Revision Revised, 432-436

Many agree that the grammar with the corruption is a solecism. The Unitarian reviser (with ebionite leanings) who was on Westcott and Hort's New Testament committee and  clearly no supporter of "God was manifest in the flesh" wrote that "ὅς is "difficult, and hardly admissible" as referring to mystery (the closest antecedent and adopted by many of the scholars working with the corruption.) Then Smith goes to "Christ" as the subject almost by default, despite the fact that this is strained, unnatural and far afield.

====Companion Reference Bible====

:God. The R.V. prints “He Who” and adds in the margin “''Theos'' (God) rests on no significant evidence.” The probability is that the original reading was ''ho'' (which) with the Syriac and all the Latin versions, to agree with muterion (neut.). The Gr. uncial being Ο, some scribe added the letter s, making ΟC (He Who), which he thought made better sense. Later another put a mark in this Ο, making the word <span style="text-decoration: overline">ΘC</span>, the contraction for ΘEOC, God. This mark in Codex A, in the Brittish Museum, is said by some to be in different ink.

:"According to the Form-critics, Paul was not teaching the Christian community anything, but merely rehearsing to the community what he had learned from it. But who were these unknown hymn makers of the Christian community who were able to mold the thinking of the Apostle Paul? How could these profound theological geniuses have remained anonymous?"

The New American Bible Revised Edition, which reads the wording as a reference to Christ, notes that:
 +
:Some predominantly Western manuscripts read 'which', harmonizing the gender of the pronoun with that of the Greek word for mystery; many later (eighth/ninth century on), predominantly Byzantine manuscripts read 'God', possibly for theological reasons.

Because it is impossible for [[Greek]] grammar to support these later conclusions, it has been theorized that this portion of scripture is a hymnic quotation, thus creating what is known as the [[Hymn Theory]]. While he [[NKJV]] may not change the word God, it does imply that verse is a hymn, thus giving credence to the false notion.

Commentary

ΘC or OC

God is often changed to "he" or "who" in most modern translations. This is because in some Greek manuscripts the word Theós (θεος) in Greek capitals (θEOΣ) was shortened to make room, and was written as θΣ with a line above it (and sometimes without one in it OΣ). Without the line above it (or in it), OΣ simply means "who".

Codex Sinaiticus

1 Timothy 3:16 in Codex Sinaiticus (א) supposed to be from 330-360 AD. But this is contested. Some say it is a modern forgery written in 1839-40 [[1]].

John Chrysostom

John Chrysostom writes:

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God [θεός] was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit.
Here he speaks of the Dispensation in our behalf. Tell me not of the bells, nor of the holy of holies, nor of the high priest. The Church is the pillar of the world. Consider this mystery, and you may be struck with awe: for it is indeed a great mystery, and a mystery of godliness, and that without controversy or question, for it is beyond all doubt. Since in his directions to the Priests he had required nothing like what is found in Leviticus he refers the whole matter to Another, saying, God was manifest in the flesh. The Creator was seen incarnate. (Homily XI on First Timothy) [6]

Codex Alexandrinus

An 1860 printed edition of the text of 1 Tim 3:15-16 in Codex Alexandrinus[2].

In one manuscript, Codex Alexandrinus the line faded, although history testifies that the line was there. and also there are well over 300 other manuscripts that contain the horizontal lines, and which therefore testify unmistakably to Theos, or "God", it is omitted and replaced for "he" or "who".

Samuel Prideaux Tregelles said:

Erasmus

Quod manifestum est in carne.) graece secus est, θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, id est, deus manifestatus est in carne, et quae sequuntur, ad deum referenda sunt. Ambrosius et vulgatus interpres legerunt pro θεὸς ὅ, id est quod. Secus legunt Chrysostomus et Vulgarius, quos si sequi volumus, genera participiorum mutanda sunt, iustificatus, praedicatus, creditus, assumptus. Caeterum utra lectio sit verior ambigo nonnihil. Offendit Laurentium quomodo mysterium dicatur assumptum in gloriam. At cur non magis offendit, quod deus dicitur iustificatus? Id quod ne in Christum quidem prima fonte satis congruit. Siquidem de Christo interpretatur Ambro. Mihi subolet, deum additum fuisse adversus hereticos Arrianos. Caeterum mea quidem sententia simplicissima fuerit interpretatio, si quis mysterium intelligat praedicationem euangelii, quod saepe alias mysterium vocat, prius occultum et ignotum, nunc manifestatum universo mundo.

Isaac Newton

In An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture (posthumously published in 1754), Isaac Newton argues that a small change to early Greek versions of this verse effectively changed "which" (referring to godliness) was changed to "God". This change increases textual support for trinitarianism, a doctrine to which Newton did not subscribe.

John Burgon

John Burgon said:

“The fact remains for all that, that the original reading of A is attested so amply, that no sincere lover of Truth can ever hereafter pretend to doubt it... it is too late by 150 years to contend on the negative side of the question... The plain fact concerning Cod. A is this - That at 1 Tim. iii. 16, two delicate horizontal strokes in THEOS which were thoroughly patent in 1628, which could be seen plainly down to 1737, and which were discernible by an expert (Dr. Woide) so late as A.D. 1765, have for the last hundred years entirely disappeared, which is precisely what Berriman in 1741 predicted would be the case.” Revision Revised, 432-436

Theodore Beza

When specifically referencing the text with word God, Theodore Beza stated:

"There is scarcely another passage in which all the mysteries of our redemption are explained so magnificently or so clearly."

George Vance Smith

Many agree that the grammar with the corruption is a solecism. The Unitarian reviser (with ebionite leanings) who was on Westcott and Hort's New Testament committee and clearly no supporter of "God was manifest in the flesh" wrote that "ὅς is "difficult, and hardly admissible" as referring to mystery (the closest antecedent and adopted by many of the scholars working with the corruption.) Then Smith goes to "Christ" as the subject almost by default, despite the fact that this is strained, unnatural and far afield.

Companion Reference Bible

God. The R.V. prints “He Who” and adds in the margin “Theos (God) rests on no significant evidence.” The probability is that the original reading was ho (which) with the Syriac and all the Latin versions, to agree with muterion (neut.). The Gr. uncial being Ο, some scribe added the letter s, making ΟC (He Who), which he thought made better sense. Later another put a mark in this Ο, making the word ΘC, the contraction for ΘEOC, God. This mark in Codex A, in the Brittish Museum, is said by some to be in different ink.

Bruce Metzger's 'evidence'

Metzger:

...since the neuter relative pronoun ὅ must have arisen as a scribal correction of ὅς (to bring the relative into concord with μυστήριον)....[1]

Notice that this is first of all an acknowledgment of the Greek solecism. The lack of any sensible concord for the hanging masculine relative pronoun. And a de facto acknowledgment of a feeble text (ie. not inspired by God) taken in by the hortians. And the blunder ὅς in the Metzger economy was immediately being corrected by scribes in the 1st and 2nd centuries ... in time for all the versional translations. (Then the ὃ was some how reverting back to ὅς being more common, yet both are ultra-minority.)

Metzger:

...the witnesses that read ὅ (D* itd, g, 61, 86 vg Ambrosiaster Marius Victorinus Hilary Pelagius Augustine) also indirectly presuppose ὅς as the earlier reading...[1]

This is circular to the hortian assumption that ὅς was 1st-century autographic. If ὅ was Paul's writing (Grotius, Newton, Wetstein and others) then it is invalid, since it is easy to see that being modified either accidentally or purposefully. (e.g. a scribe thinking .. why have "mystery" as what was manifested, that is strange, must be wrong, I'll fix it). And if θεός or ΘΣ was Paul's writing, then the corruption to ὅ could easily occur directly without coming from ὅς. Even more so if mss were written with ΘΣ (nomina sacra).

Metzger got this concept from Westcott & Hort:

The New Testament in the Original Greek (1881) Westcott & Hort

"The Western ὅ is a manifest correction of ὅς , intended to remedy the apparent breach of concord between the relative and τὸ μυστήριον ... the change from ὅς to θεός would be facilitated, if it was not caused, by the removal of an apparent solecism ...."

Edward F. Hills

"According to the Form-critics, Paul was not teaching the Christian community anything, but merely rehearsing to the community what he had learned from it. But who were these unknown hymn makers of the Christian community who were able to mold the thinking of the Apostle Paul? How could these profound theological geniuses have remained anonymous?" The King James Version Defended, p 82

New American Bible Revised Edition

The New American Bible Revised Edition, which reads the wording as a reference to Christ, notes that:

Some predominantly Western manuscripts read 'which', harmonizing the gender of the pronoun with that of the Greek word for mystery; many later (eighth/ninth century on), predominantly Byzantine manuscripts read 'God', possibly for theological reasons.

New King James Version

The New King James Version of verse 16 reads:

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

Because it is impossible for Greek grammar to support these later conclusions, it has been theorized that this portion of scripture is a hymnic quotation, thus creating what is known as the Hymn Theory. While he NKJV may not change the word God, it does imply that verse is a hymn, thus giving credence to the false notion.

"The reading which, on the basis of external evidence and transcriptional probability, best explains the rise of the others is ὅς. It is supported by the earliest and best uncials (א* A*vid C* Ggr) as well as by 33 365 442 2127 syrhmg, pal goth ethpp Origenlat Epiphanius Jerome Theodore Eutheriusacc. to Theodoret Cyril Cyrilacc. to Ps-Oecumenius Liberatus. Furthermore, since the neuter relative pronoun ὅ must have arisen as a scribal correction of ὅς (to bring the relative into concord with μυστήριον), the witnesses that read ὅ (D* itd, g, 61, 86 vg Ambrosiaster Marius Victorinus Hilary Pelagius Augustine) also indirectly presuppose ὅς as the earlier reading. The Textus Receptus reads θεός, with אe (this corrector is of the twelfth century) A2 C2 Dc K L P Ψ 81 330 614 1739 Byz Lect Gregory-Nyssa Didymus Chrysostom Theodoret Euthalius and later Fathers. Thus, no uncial (in the first hand) earlier than the eighth or ninth century (Ψ) supports θεός; all ancient versions presuppose ὅς or ὅ; and no patristic writer prior to the last third of the fourth century testifies to the reading θεός. The reading θεός arose either (a) accidentally, through the misreading of ος as ΘΣ, or (b) deliberately, either to supply a substantive for the following six verbs, or, with less probability, to provide greater dogmatic precision."
