| Summary: | NA28 and UBS5 identify the source of Paul’s statement in 1 Cor 15:33 as Menander, Thais, although NA28 puts a question mark after “Thais.” One can, however, demonstrate that the proverb originally came from Euripides. Consequently, future critical editions of the New Testament should include Euripides in the margin along with Menander and should probably make reference also to the mass of proverbs that were shared orally or in writing in the culture of antiquity. One can read 1 Cor 15:33 as a text of Euripides, Menander, or as an expression of the common wisdom of antiquity. |
