Matthew 6:15

Matthew 6:15 avnqrw,poij {C}

It is problematic whether an original reading ta. paraptw,mata auvtw/n was omitted by copyists as unnecessary, in view of the presence of the same words in ver. Matthew 6:14 and ta. paraptw,mata u`mw/n later in ver. Matthew 6:15, or whether the words were introduced in the interests of producing a balanced, liturgical style. The Committee judged that, in view of the absence of the words from the parallel statement added in some witnesses after Mark 11:25, they should be regarded as an intrusion into the text of Matthew, especially since they disturb the chiastic structure of verses Matthew 6:14 and Matthew 6:15.
