1 Thessalonians 1:2

Context
Thanksgiving for Response to the Gospel

1:2 We thank God always for all of you as we mention you constantly 1  in our prayers,

1 Thessalonians 1:7

Context
1:7 As a result you became an example 2  to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

1 tn Or “mention you in our prayers, because we recall constantly…”

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.
