초록

The purpose of this paper is to investigate textual changes in the Catholic Letters of the United Bible Societies’ The Greek New Testament, 5th Edition (UBS 5th). There are 33 readings in the text of the UBS 5th edition as well as the Nestle-Aland 28th (NA 28th) edition which differ (sometimes significantly) from those of the UBS 4th/NA 27th editions of 1993. This is because the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) representing a new level of scientific research (CBGM, Coherence-Based Genealogical Method) on the text and offering a text newly established on this basis is already available, and the text of the Catholic Letters was taken from the ECM, and apparatus was reconstructed on the basis of this text.
But we are not in a position to completely understand why particular readings have been chosen without additional material supporting the textual decisions made in the ECM (and especially a textual commentary). Sometimes this can be discerned by new evidence or other discussions; some general tendencies can be discerned by the differences between the ECM and the NA 27th/ 26th editions or the UBS 4th/3rd editions.
In this regard, this paper provides a short introduction to the CBGM, a critical overview of those 33 textual changes, and some detailed analysis on several passages that merit closer attention. An analysis of some of these variants is done in order to see how and why several new readings have been adopted in this new edition.
This paper provides three results from the analysis, and critical evaluation on them. First, it is not easy to discern any general tendency among these variants because sometimes the new readings follow early witnesses like Sinaiticus or only Vaticanus (Jud 5) or even only early versions (without any Greek manuscripts) in 2 Peter 3:10 while at other points, they follow the later Majority (Byzantine from this edition) text or even only some later Minuscules like P (025) in 1 Peter 4:16.
Second, new readings of the UBS 5th edition at several passages like 1 Peter 4:16; 2 Peter 2:18; 1 John 5:10 and 5:18 can surely be better, and in some cases like James 2:3; 1 Peter 1:6; and 2 Peter 2:6, old readings of the UBS 4th edition may be better. This not only signifies both strengths and weaknesses of the CBGM but also reflects the result which is not from the editors’ reasoned eclecticism but from the application of the CBGM.
Third, since the CBGM emboldens editors of the ECM to go against the bulk of the manuscript evidence at significant moments, textual choices of the ECM/UBS 5th edition can only be understood in light of the CBGM. Therefore, detailed textual commentary on textual decisions as well as further intensive studies on the relevance of this method should follow.
