Footnotes

  1. 3 Grk “Grace to you and peace.”
  2. 4 Most witnesses (א A F G I 0278 𝔐 lat sy sa) have ἡμῶν (hēmōn) after πατρός (patros), reading “God our Father,” in apparent emulation of Paul’s almost universal style. The omission of the pronoun (the reading of B D P 0111vid 33 1739 1881 ) seems to be the original wording of this salutation. As well, the intrinsic evidence also supports the shorter reading: If 2 Thessalonians is authentic, it was one of Paul’s earliest letters, and, if so, his stereotyped salutation was still in embryonic form (see discussion at ). places the word in brackets, indicating some doubts as to its authenticity.
