1 Thessalonians 1:6-7

Context

1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you received 1  the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, despite great affliction. 1:7 As a result you became an example 2  to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

[1:6]  1 tn Or “after you received.”

[1:7]  2 tc Most mss (א A C D2 F G Ψ 0278 Ï) have the plural τύπους (tupou", “examples”) here, while a few important witnesses have the singular τύπον (tupon, “example”; B D*,c 6 33 81 104 1739 1881 pc lat). With ὑμᾶς (Jumas, “you”) immediately preceding, the plural form looks motivated: Scribes would be expected to change the singular to the plural here. Although the external evidence for the singular reading is not overwhelming, the internal evidence for it is compelling.
