This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

10. μὴ νοσφιζομένους. WH give μηδέ a place in their margin, on the authority of CbD2*G 17; אAC*D2cEKLP &c. have μή.

πᾶσαν πίστιν. There is some confusion about the order. The reading of the text has the weight of uncial authority, viz. אcACD2EP and d e, on its side; and it is in favour of this, as Ellicott points out, that in St Paul (except Eph 4:19) where πᾶς is in connexion with an abstract and anarthrous substantive, it always precedes the noun. The rec. text has πίστιν πᾶσαν with KL (so also Chrysostom, Theodoret, and the Latin Vulgate). It is remarkable that א*17 omit πίστιν altogether, and 17 for the following ἀγαθήν has ἀγάπην; WH, in consequence, place πᾶσαν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγάπην in their margin, as a reading of which it is quite possible that the others may be corruptions. See exegetical note.

τὴν διδασκαλίαν τήν. The second τήν is wanting in rec. text as it is in KLP and some other authorities; ins. אACD2EG 17, Chrysostom and Theodoret.

ἡμῶν. The rec. text has ὑμῶν, apparently through a printer’s error, for it has no MS. support.
