Importance of primacy

[Thirdwoe]

The qoutations of the early Christian "fathers" or teachers, that I have read, don't always line up with what is found in the Greek texts/translations of today. One instance is Origen, who writting about 230 A.D. shows that Hebrews 2:9 read "Apart from God"...but he also points out that "some copies" had the "by the Grace of God" reading...though He used the former reading in his teaching on the subject, which shows which reading he believed was the right one. This shows that in the best early Greek copies, that its reading for Hebrews 2:9 agreed with the Aramaic text we have today, but has fallen out of the Greek.
