Interpolation in the peshitta text
#8
Paul,

The received text would be the collection of manuscripts that make up our King James bible. It has the greatest manuscript support and the most widespread usage in the languages extant.

The neutral text is made up from the oldest great uncial manuscripts, Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Alexandrius, plus all the papryus fragments, which mostly came from egypt. The fragments preserve the oldest text of our NT bible and help to show a more non-interpolated text.

The difference in the two is mainly the age and the cleanliness of the text. The neutral text has considerably less of these sorts of interpolations like I just pointed out. The oldest unicials are dated to around the 4th century, to possibly a bit earlier. The british scholars, Westcott and Hort spent most of their lifetime collecting together and amassing this neutral text.

There is always a great debate between the two, those who adhere to the received text, IE the King James type, and those who adhere to a more modern bible, such as the new king James or the NIV. The differences are there and one has to spend time considering many of them.

That is just a small bit on it, there is quite a bit more on the web.
