- 19 Grk “because of the time.”
- 20 Grk “the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God.”
- 21 Grk “you have come to have a need for.”
- 22 Most texts, including some early and important ones (א2 A B* D Ψ 0122 0278 1881 𝔐 sy Cl), have καί (kai, “and”) immediately preceding οὐ (ou, “not”), but other equally significant witnesses (𝔓46 א* B2 C 33 81 1739 lat Or Did) lack the conjunction. As it was a natural tendency for scribes to add a coordinating conjunction, the καί appears to be a motivated reading. On balance, it is probably best to regard the shorter reading as authentic. has καί in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
