Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 88 The wording “to you” (ὑμῖν, humin) is lacking throughout the tradition except for a few witnesses (D W* Δ 1424 co). The Western witnesses tend to add freely to the text. Supported by the vast majority of witnesses and the likelihood that “to you” is a clarifying addition, the shorter reading should be considered original; nevertheless, “to you” is included in the translation because of English requirements.
  2. 89 This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos), referring to both males and females.
  3. 90 Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
