Manuscript A listed above in braces contains a synonym of the text reading which is also translated “Now” and which differs from the text by only one letter. The text reading can also be translated “But.” Verses Acts 6:1-2; Acts 6:4 also begin with the word “Now.” Although it is possible that copyists changed “Therefore” to “Now” to make all four verses alike, “Therefore” is so appropriate that it is much more likely that “Now” was changed to “Therefore” to produce a variation of style.
