Philip, the reading of HMEIN in D is identical to HMIN, and is due to an
orthographic change on the vowel, a very common feature of mss. and specifically
not unusual at all for D. In this instance, even the corrector of D leaves
the spelling for HMEIN while adding EN before HMEIN. So the resulting reading
would be "us" versus "you" as given in the UBS text. Thus Bezae has "God
chose among us that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the
gospel and might believe."
