 Untitled
Codex Vaticanus is highly exalted among modern scholars as being the best Greek manuscript, and its readings are primarily responsible for the omission of hundreds and hundreds of words from the King James Bible.
However Vaticanus and P72 omit "of you, as of evildoers", and the verb found in these two is a passive verb as opposed to the majority active verb.
By the way, Vaticanus omits the entire next verse: "Neither as being lord's over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock." Vaticanus omits the entire verse, though it is found in all the others, including Sinaiticus, and this time the modern versions follow the Sinaiticus reading and include the whole verse.
