This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
20. [καὶ ἐν πνεύματι ὑμῶν ἅτινά ἐστιν τοῦ θεοῦ, at end of verse.] Omit אABCDEFG Vetus Lat. and Vulg. Rec. inserts them with Peshito. The words are not found in the earlier Fathers. Thus Irenaeus in his work on heresies, Book 1Co 6:15, leaves out the words. Tertullian, De Resurrectione Carnis, ch. 10, also omits them, and still more distinctly in his De Pudicitia, chap. 16. But by the time of St Chrysostom they had found their way into the text, and he comments upon them. They seem clearly to have been added by some ascetic who thought that without an addition of some kind undue honour would seem to be paid to the body. Alterations and additions are made for similar reasons in ch. 1Co 7:5.
