Romans 14:12

Romans 14:12 @tw|/ qew|/# {C}

On the one hand, the combination of such witnesses as a A C D 33 81 614 and most versional testimony makes it difficult to reject the reading tw|/ qew|/. On the other hand, however, it is easy to understand why, if the words were originally absent from the text, copyists would have supplied them in order to clarify the reference of the verb. To represent the balance of external and internal considerations, it was decided to include tw|/ qew|/ in the text, but to enclose the words within square brackets.
