The New Revised Standard Version translates 1 Peter 2:6 as "For it stands in scripture: 'See, I am laying in Zion...'" (DIOTI PERIECEI EN GRAFHi). But KJV translates it as "Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion...," apparently based on the reading contained in the majority text, which has EN THi GRAFHi, according to my Nestle-Aland.
Are there any compelling reasons for preferring the reading used in modern translations for 1 Pet. 2:6 over the reading on which the KJV translation is based?
