1 Timotius 4:4

4:4 For every creation of God is good and no food ¹  is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

1 Timotius 6:7

6:7 For we have brought nothing into this world and so ²  we cannot take a single thing out either.

[4:4]  ¹ tn Grk “nothing.”

[6:7]  ² tc The Greek conjunction ὅτι usually means “because,” but here it takes the sense “so that” (see BDAG 732 s.v. 5.c). This unusual sense led to textual variation as scribes attempted to correct what appeared to be an error: D* and a few versional witnesses read ἀληθές ὅτι (“it is true that”), and א² D² Ψ Ï read δῆλον ὅτι (“it is clear that”). Thus the simple conjunction is preferred on internal as well as external grounds, supported by א* A F G 33 81 1739 1881 pc.
