About This Manuscript

Papyrus 46 (P46) is one of the oldest surviving biblical manuscripts of Paul's epistles, dated to the late second or early third century AD. This museum-quality P46 replica preserves Romans 11:36-12:8 on the recto, Paul's climactic doxology and his opening call to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, and Romans 12:10-13:1 on the verso, his practical instructions on humility, service, spiritual gifts, and life in the body of Christ. One of the most practical and beloved sections in all of Paul's letters, preserved on real Egyptian papyrus.

Textual Significance

P46 is a cornerstone of Pauline textual criticism and one of the most cited early manuscripts in New Testament studies. Its textual readings have directly shaped modern critical editions of the Greek New Testament, including the NA28 and UBS5. For students of biblical apologetics, P46 provides powerful evidence for the early and widespread authority of Paul's letters as Scripture.
