This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

6. ἐν παντὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἐστὶν καρποφορούμενον. Text. Rec. inserts καί after κόσμῳ, with DbcGKL, Old Lat. Vulg. Syrr. It is an attempt to improve a very difficult construction, but is practically limited to “Western” authorities.

καὶ αὐξανόμενον, omitted by Text. Rec. with DbcK and many late MSS. perhaps by a mere error of sight, cf. Col 1:9. But apart from the external evidence we might have supposed the words to be added from Col 1:10.
