Jude 9
In the expression, επιτιμησαι σοι κυριος (“[the] Lord rebuke you”), the last word
in all three editions (TR WH NU) is κυριος (“Lord”), with good testimony: 𝔓72 A C Maj. A few manuscripts (א
1505) add a definite article, and a few others (א*
1739 1881) change it to ο
θεος (“God”). In B* Ψ the expression is επιτιμησαι εν σοι κυριος, showing scribal conformity to Zech 3:2
(LXX), the verse quoted here. (Philip W. Comfort, New Testament
Text and Translation Commentary: Commentary on the Variant Readings of the
Ancient New Testament Manuscripts and How They Relate to the Major English
Translations [Carol Stream, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2008], 803)
