PAPYRUS 46

The earliest substantial New Testament manuscript known to exist is a slightly mutilated codex of Paul's epistles from about the year 200. It consists of eighty-six leaves, measuring originally about 11 by 6½ inches. It is thought originally to have contained 104 leaves, with eighteen leaves now missing from the front and back. The existing leaves contain (in this order) the last eight chapters of Romans; all of Hebrews; virtually all of 1–2 Corinthians; all of Ephesians, Galatians, Philippians, Colossians; and two chapters of 1 Thessalonians. All of the leaves have lost some lines at the bottom through deterioration.

Leaves of the manuscript first came to light in 1930 among the wares of a native antiquities vendor in Cairo, and these were immediately purchased by a private collector, Mr. Chester Beatty of London. Soon afterwards the rest of the manuscript was acquired from the same dealer by Beatty and by representatives of the University of Michigan. 30 of the leaves are now at the University of Michigan and 56 are in the Chester Beatty Collection in Dublin, Ireland. The leaf shown here, from the University of Michigan, contains 2 Cor. 11:33-12:9.

	a man in Christ now above fourteen years—
6	ειτε εν σωματι ουκ οιδα ειτε εκτος του σω
	whether in the body I know not, or outside the
7	ματος ουκ οιδα ο θς οιδεν αρπαγεντα τον
	body I know not, God knows—caught up

	I shall not be foolish, for I shall speak the truth.
17	φειδομαι δε μη τις εμε λογισηται υπερ
	But I refrain, lest anyone unto me reckons beyond
18	ο βλεπει με η ακουει τι εξ εμου και τη

20	υπεραιρωμαι εδοθη μοι σκολοψ τη σαρκι
	I should be lifted up too high, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh;
21	αγγελος σατανα ινα με κολαφιζη ιν[α] [μη]
	a messenger of Satan so that he might afflict me, lest
22	υπεραιρωμαι υπερ τουτου τρις τον [κν]
	I should be lifted up too high. Concerning this, thrice the [Lord]
23	παρεκαλεσα ινα αποστη απ εμ[ου] [και] [ει]
	I besought, that it might depart from [me; and]
24	ρηκεν μοι αρκει σοι η χαρις [μου] [η] [γαρ]
	he said to me, Suffices for you the grace [of me, for the]
25	δυναμι[ς] [ε]ν ασ[θεν]ε[ια] τε[λειται] ...
	power in [weakness is perfected.]
