KJV ASV RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBnCOMMENTS: The difference between the two readings is only one of two letters. Although it is possible that “know all things” was changed to “all know” by copyists who felt that “know all things” was too strong a statement, it is also possible that the reverse change was made by copyists who felt that the verb “know” needed an object.

ASVn RSVnCOMMENTS: In later Greek the words for “us” and “plyou” were pronounced alike. Most likely the change from “us” to “plyou” by a few copyists was due to a mistake of the ear.
