Galatians 1:6

Galatians 1:6 @Cristou/# {C}

The Committee found it difficult to decide whether transcriptional probabilities or external evidence should be allowed the greater weight in choosing among the five variant readings. On the one hand, the absence of any genitive qualifying evn ca,riti î^46vid G H^vid it^{g, ar} Marcion Tertullian Cyprian Ambrosiaster Marius Victorinus Lucifer Ephraem Pelagius) has the appearance of being the original reading, which copyists supplemented by adding Cristou/ (î^51vid a A B Y 33 81 614 1739 vg syr^{p, h, pal} cop^bo goth arm al), or VIhsou/ Cristou/ (D it^d syr^{h with *}), or Cristou/ VIhsou/ (cop^sa Jerome), or qeou/ (7 327 336 Origen^lat Theodoret). On the other hand however, a majority of the Committee was unwilling to adopt a reading that is supported by only part of the Western tradition; therefore it was decided to print Cristou/ on the strength of its strong external support, but to enclose the word within square brackets out of deference to its omission by î^46vid and certain Western witnesses.
