Philippians 3:16

Philippians 3:16 tw|/ auvtw|/ stoicei/n {A}

The earliest form of text appears to be that preserved in î^{16, 46} a* A B I^vid 33 424^c 1739 cop^{sa, bo} eth^ro al. Because of the conciseness of style, copyists added various explanatory words and phrases; e.g. the Textus Receptus reads tw|/ auvtw|/ stoicei/n kano,ni( to. auvto. fronei/n with a^c K P Y 88 614 syr^{p, h} eth^pp al, where kano,ni serves to identify the otherwise enigmatic tw|/ auvtw|/, and to. auvto. fronei/n is a gloss explaining tw|/ auvtw|/ stoicei/n (compare Philippians 2:2 and Galatians 6:16); other witnesses insert kano,ni before stoicei/n (69 1908), and still others insert to. auvto. fronei/n before tw|/ auvtw|/, with or without kano,ni (D G 81 330 1241 it vg goth arm Euthalius). The variety and lack of homogeneity of the longer readings make it difficult to suppose that the shorter reading tw|/ auvtw|/ stoicei/n arose because of homoeoteleuton.
