16. ἐπαρκείσθω. So אAG; ἐπαρκείτω CD2KLP. It is not easy to decide whether the active or the middle form is to he preferred.
Rec. text has πιστὸς ἤ before πιστὴ with D2KL, the majority of the cursives, the Syriac versions and good Greek patristic authorities; om. אACGP and the Bohairic version. There are Latin authorities on both sides, and it is possible that the disputed words may have been omitted through a copyist’s inadvertence; but yet the weight of evidence is against them.
