2 Korintus 1:10
Konteks1:10 He 1 delivered us from so great a risk of death, and he will deliver us. We have set our hope on him 2 that 3 he will deliver us yet again,
2 Korintus 12:19
Konteks12:19 Have you been thinking all this time 4 that we have been defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and everything we do, dear friends, is to build you up. 5

The reading of Ì46 could only have arisen from πάλαι. The reading πάλιν is significantly easier (“are you once again thinking that we are defending ourselves?”), for it softens Paul’s tone considerably.

Further, πάλαι has considerable support in the Alexandrian and Western witnesses, rendering it virtually certain as the original wording here.
