1 Corinthians 1:14 @tw|/ qew|/# {C}

It is obvious that the addition of mou after qew|/ is the result of scribal assimilation to ver. 1 Corinthians 1:4. It is more difficult, however, to decide whether tw|/ qew|/ fell out accidentally in transcription (eu,arictwtw;=w=), or whether copyists supplemented Paul’s abbreviated expression with the addition of tw|/ qew|/, on the pattern of Romans 1:8; Romans 7:25; 1 Corinthians 1:4; 1 Corinthians 14:18; etc. It was considered safer to follow the usage of Paul and to include tw|/ qew|/ in the text; out of deference, however, to the weight of a* B 1739 al, which omit the words, they were enclosed within square brackets.
