This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
3. φθαρῇ (אBDFGP, d g r Copt. Arm. Goth.) rather than οὔτω φθαρῇ (D2D3KLM, f Vulg. Syrr. Aeth.): the variant φθαρει (KLP) may be ignored. It is not easy to decide as to the genuineness of καὶ τῆς ἁγνότητος, which אBFG 17, 74, g Aeth. have after ἀπλότητος, while D, d have τῆς ἀγνότητος καὶ τῆς ἁπλότητος, and א3D3KLMP, f have τῆς ἀπλότητος without κ. τ. ἀγνότητος. It is well attested, but it looks like a gloss, which very early got into the text, sometimes in one place and sometimes in another. It might be accidentally omitted through homœoteleuton. With less doubt read τὸν χριστόν (BDKLP) rather than Χριστόν (אFGM 80, 89).
