This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
4. τὴν ἀγάπην [ἣν ἔχετε] εἰς πάντας κ.τ.λ. ἣν ἔχετε אACD*G, the versions except Pesh.; τὴν DcKL, Pesh. Chrys., as in || Eph 1:15. B omits altogether.

It is hard to decide whether to retain ἣν ἔχετε or to simply read τὴν ἁγάπην εἰς πάντας κ.τ.λ., and the question is complicated by Phm 1:5 τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἦν ἔχεις εἰς τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους. Perhaps on the whole B is preferable, each of the other readings being an attempt to improve the harsh grammar.
