Many witnesses, including a C² K L P 049 056 0142 81 104 1739 it^ff vg syr^{p, h with *} cop^bo al, add ou[twj before the negative. Since, however, it was natural for copyists to add such a word to enhance the comparison, and since it is absent from such early and important witnesses as A B C* 88 2492^txt syr^h cop^sa arm, the Committee preferred the shorter reading. Still less likely to be original is the expansion in the Textus Receptus, which after ou[twj continues ouvdemi,a phgh. a`luko.n kai,, with K (P) 049 056 0142 104 614 917.
