Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us - labour, no doubt, of, a womanly kind. [Lachmann and Tregelles have humas (G5209) - 'who bestowed much labour on you'-with 'Aleph (') A B C *, and several cursives, the Peshito Syriac, and other versions: then the similar reading, en (G1722) humin (G5213), is found in D E F G, the Old Latin, and Vulgate: while heemas (G2248) is only in L, and a corrector of C, the great majority of cursives, and the Philox. Syriac. But, with Tischendorf, we hold that not even this weighty external authority could justify the adoption of so entirely inappropriate a reading as 'you' here. The received reading here must be right.]
