This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

8. παραστήσει אAB. παρίστησι rec. with DE Vetus Lat. Vulg. Orig.

οὔτε ἐὰν φάγωμεν. This is the order of אDEFG Vetus Lat. Vulg. (authorized ed.) and Peshito, and many of the earlier Fathers. Lachmann, Tregelles, and Tischendorf in his earlier editions, transpose the order, placing ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν first with AB and some MSS. of Vulg. Internal evidence would favour the connection between μὴ φάγωμεν and ὑστερούμεθα. Tregelles and Westcott and Hort, however, retain this connection, but invert the order of the two sentences ending with περισσεύομεν and ὑστερούμεθα.
