[B-Greek] 1 Tim. 3:16 and Greek poetry

Even if QEOS is the genuine reading this does not preclude the fact that 1
Tim 3:16 is still a hymn. John 1:1-18 is believed by many NT scholars to be
an early hymn and it begins with "In the beginning..." The use of the
relative pronoun is only one of the features found in NT hymns, but not the
only one.

textual criticism, but John W. Burgon did quite well showing that QEOS is
the genuine reading, and that hOS is a later gloss.  Of course, Burgon isn't
the only textual scholar who thought so.

that put a "monkey wrench" in the whole thought that hOS is introducing a
hymn or creed?
