Résumé

Cet article a pour objectif d'enquêter sur l'utilisation de la virgule dans les textes du Nouveau Testament grec et de décrire la valeur de ce signe de ponctuation pour l'interprétation d'Éphésiens 4:12, avec les objectifs suivants : expliquer la fonction de la virgule ; et indiquer son absence dans la plupart des manuscrits grecs anciens. Il présente la question problématique : comment les premiers chrétiens pouvaient-ils comprendre le texte du Nouveau Testament grec sans signes de ponctuation ? Pour comprendre cette question, une recherche bibliographique a été menée à travers des livres et des articles scientifiques et, en outre, une analyse du papyrus 46, qui contient le texte d'Éphésiens IV, 2 - IV, 14, a été réalisée. Il est conclu que les signes de ponctuation dans les textes du Nouveau Testament d'aujourd'hui sont des ajouts éditoriaux, et que leur absence ne rend pas impossible la compréhension d'un passage.
