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