Footnotes

  1. 1 Certain (B[*] D1 H 0278 1739 𝔐 sy sa) read ἡμῶν (hēmōn, “our”), while others (𝔓46 א C D* F G P Ψ 075 33 81 1881 latt bo) read ὑμῶν (humōn, “your”). Internally, it is possible that the second person pronoun arose through scribal conformity to the second person pronoun used previously in v. 3 (i.e., ὑμῶν) and following in v. 4 (ὑμεῖς, humeis). But in terms of external criteria, the second person pronoun has superior support (though there is an Alexandrian split) and ἡμῶν may have arisen through accident (error of sight) or scribal attempt to universalize the statement since all Christians have Jesus as their life.
