Colossians 1:2

Colossians 1:2 h`mw/n {A}

After h`mw/n the Textus Receptus adds kai. kuri,ou VIhsou/ Cristou/, with a A C G I 88 614 Byz Lect al; the same addition is found also in other witnesses with a second h`mw/n added to kuri,ou, standing before or after VIhsou/ Cristou/. The words, which are absent from a variety of witnesses, some of them early (B D K Y 33 81 1739 it^{ar, d, mon} vg syr^{p, h} cop^sa arm eth^ro), have no doubt been added by copyists who assimilated the text to Pauline usage; certainly no reason for deliberate omission suggests itself.
