RSVnCOMMENTS: There is only a difference of two letters between the two readings. It is possible that one was accidently read for the other. The text reading is found in early manuscripts of both the Alexandrian and Western types of ancient text.

The Greek word for “plyour” is enclosed in brackets in the UBS text. In later Greek “plyour” and “our” were pronounced alike, so the reading “our” is due to a mistake of the ear. Although it is possible that “plyour” is a natural addition for copyists to make, the fact that it is found in so many manuscripts of different kinds of ancient text indicates that it is original. The NASV has the footnote marker on the “plyour” in front of “soul”; it actually belongs on the “plyour” in front of “faith.” The “plyour” in front of “soul” is a supplied word, not found in the Greek text, as is shown by the italics in the KJV and ASV.

The more unusual expression of the text reading was changed to the more usual “the last times” by making “last” plural. A few copyists changed “times” to “time” to read “the last time.”

1 Peter 1:22

ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB : “love one another earnestly from a true heart”

ScCOMMENTS: The word for “clean” or “pure” is enclosed in brackets in the UBS text because it is missing from early manuscripts of both the Alexandrian and Western types of ancient text. However, since in Greek both “clean” and “heart” begin with the same two letters, it is possible that it was accidently omitted when copyists eyes jumped from the beginning of “clean” to the beginning of “heart.” The reading “true” probably was taken from “truth” earlier in the verse.
