~~{{overview}}~~Codex Sinaiticus is a 4th century uncial manuscript of the [[Koine Greek]] [[Bible]], written between 330–350. While it originally contained the whole of both Testaments, only portions of the Greek Old Testament ([[Septuagint]]) survive, along with a complete [[New Testament]], the [[Epistle of Barnabas]], and portions of [[The Shepherd of Hermas]].

~~{{also}}~~ Along with [[Codex Vaticanus]], Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most valuable manuscripts for textual criticism of the Greek New Testament, as well as the Septuagint. For most of the New Testament, Codex Sinaiticus ~~codex (EBD)|Easton's Bible Dictionary entry on~~ is in general agreement with Codex Vaticanus and [[Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus]], attesting an Alexandrian text-type, but in [[John 1]]:1-8:38, Codex Sinaiticus is in closer agreement with [[CodexBezae]] in support of a Western text-type. A notable example of an agreement between the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus texts is that they both omit the phrase "without cause" from [[Matthew 5:22]].
