Matthew 6:25

Matthew 6:25 @h' ti, pi,hte# {C}

In favor of the shorter reading, lacking h' ti, pi,hte, is the possibility that the text was assimilated to ver. Matthew 6:31. The variation between kai, and h; can also be taken as an indication of the secondary nature of the addition. On the other hand, the similarity of the ending of fa,ghte and pi,hte may have occasioned a transcriptional oversight on the part of one or more copyists. To represent the balance of probabilities the Committee retained the words but enclosed them within square brackets.
