Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 17 A large number of , some of them quite important (𝔓46vid א2 B D F G Ψ 0209 33 1881 𝔐 lat sa), read “or to be offended or to be made weak” after “to stumble.” The shorter reading “to stumble” is found only in Alexandrian (א* A C 048 81 945 1506 1739 bo). Although external evidence favors inclusion, internal evidence points to a scribal expansion, perhaps reminiscent of 1 Cor 8:11–13. The shorter reading is therefore preferred.
