Shlama Akhi Paul,

>>The Byzantine txt corrects Peshitta at
>>John 1:18 ‘the only begotten
>>(of) God’ seeing that it
>>is consistent in John 3:16
>>who the real begotten is.

Remember akh Paul this was one of my points weeks ago? That is, the Byzantine is a correction as Peshitta and Papyri agree on 'only begotten God'. The genitive is a gloss. Mar Drywood went on about the genitive case afterward. His statements did not reflect a basic understanding of first semester Koine Greek. I want that to be very clear to others on this forum.


However Mar Drywood is correct about Byzantine scribes which had to change the text to agree with 3:16 and that is how glosses occurr.

Akhi Paul did you mean to draw a parallel between Quran & GNT?

Shlama,
Yaqub
