1 Thessalonians 3:13 auvtou/@( avmh,n#) {C}

Was avmh,n dropped by copyists who thought it inappropriate in the body of a Pauline epistle (just as avmh,n was omitted by a scattering of witnesses at the close of Romans 15:33 and Romans 16:24), or was it added as liturgically appropriate in the context, especially when ver. 1 Thessalonians 3:13 came to be the conclusion of an ecclesiastical lection? Since it is very difficult to reach a confident decision, and since the external attestation is rather evenly balanced, a majority of the Committee decided to include avmh,n, but to enclose it within square brackets.
