1 Korintus 7:17

15:45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; ⁶  the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

[7:17]  ¹ tn Or “only”; Grk “if not.”

[11:2]  ² tc The Western and Byzantine texts, as well as one or two Alexandrian mss (D F G Ψ 33 Ï latt sy), combine in reading ἀδελφοί (adelfoi, “brothers”) here, while the Alexandrian witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ א A B C P 81 630 1175 1739 1881 2464 co) largely lack the address. The addition of ἀδελφοί is apparently a motivated reading, however, for scribes would have naturally wanted to add it to ἐπαινῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς (epainw de Juma", “now I praise you”), especially as this begins a new section. On the other hand, it is difficult to explain how the shorter reading could have arisen from the longer one. Thus, on both internal and external grounds, the shorter reading is strongly preferred.

[14:12]  ³ tn Grk “eager for spirits.” The plural is probably a shorthand for the Spirit’s gifts, especially in this context, tongues.

[15:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “that he has been raised from the dead.”

[15:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “and what you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare seed.”

[15:45]  ⁶ tn Grk “living soul”; a quotation from Gen 2:7.
