ASVnCOMMENTS: The words “plyour” and “our” were pronounced alike in later Greek, so the variation is probably due to a mistake of the ear. It is possible also that “plyour” was taken by copyists from verse 1 Corinthians 15:17 or that “our” was taken from “our preaching.” All things considered, the context seems to require “plyour faith.”

The omission of the first phrase seems to have happened accidently when copyists’ eyes jumped from the beginning of the first phrase to the beginning of the second phrase. The reversal of order of the phrases probably happened when copyists accidently omitted the first phrase and then noticed it and added it in the wrong order. The omission of both phrases probably happened when copyists’ eyes jumped from “immortality” at the end of verse 1 Corinthians 15:53 to “immortality” at the end of the second phrase.
