Chapter Level Commentary:
ζητεῖται ] A C D E F G à , min[588] have ζητεῖτε . Recommended by Griesb. But B L and all the vss[589] and Fathers are against it. A copyist’s error.—1Co_4:6. Instead of ὅ , A B C à , 31, Syr. p[590] Copt. Athan. Cyril have ἅ ; which is recommended by Griesb., and adopted by Lachm. Tisch. and Rückert. The Latin authorities have supra quam, which leaves their reading doubtful. The preceding ταῦτα naturally suggested ἅ .
φρονεῖν ] is wanting in A B D* E* F G à , 46, Vulg. It. and Latin Fathers. Rightly deleted by Lachm. Tisch. and Rückert.[591] A supplementary addition, in place of which Athanasius has φυσιοῦσθαι .—1Co_4:9. ὅτι after γάρ has preponderant evidence against it, and should be deleted, as is done by Lachm. Rück. and Tisch. Superfluous addition.—1Co_4:13. βλασφ .] A C à *, 17 46, Clem. Origen (twice), Euseb. Cyril, Damasc. have δυσφ . Approved by Griesb., accepted by Rück. and Tisch. Rightly; the more familiar (for the verb δυσφ . occurs nowhere else in the N. T., comp 2Co_6:8), and at the same time stronger word was inserted.—1Co_4:14. νουθετῶ ] A C à , min[593] Theophylact have νουθετῶν . An assimilation to the foregoing participle.

[591] Φρονεῖν has been defended again by Reiche in his Commentar. crit. I. p. 146 ff. He urges that the omission is not attested by the Greek Fathers, and, out of all the versions, only by the Latin ones, and that the word is indispensable. But the latter is not the case; and the former consideration cannot turn the scale against the decisive weight of the chief codices, among which only C—and even that not certainly—has Φρονεῖν .
