3:16Let the word of Christ18 dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace19 in your hearts to God.
Footnotes
- 18 Since “the word of Christ” occurs nowhere else in the NT, two predictable variants arose: “word of God” and “word of the Lord.” Even though some of the witnesses for these variants are impressive (κυρίου [kuriou, “of the Lord“] in א* I 1175 bo; θεοῦ [theou, “of God“] in A C* 33 104 323 945 ), the reading Χριστοῦ (Christou, “of Christ”) is read by an excellent cross-section of witnesses (𝔓46 א2 B C2 D F G Ψ 075 1739 1881 𝔐 lat sa). On both internal and external grounds, Χριστοῦ is strongly preferred.
- 19 Grk “with grace”; “all” is supplied as it is implicitly related to all the previous instructions in the verse.
