Galatians 5:24 Cristou/ @VIhsou/# {C}

The balance of evidence for and against VIhsou/ makes it preferable to retain the word but to enclose it within square brackets in order to indicate considerable doubt that it belongs in the text. Although the presence of the definite article tou/ with Cristou/ VIhsou/ is unusual (found elsewhere only in Ephesians 3:1), few commentators have followed Burton 1 in rendering, “They that belong to the Christ, Jesus, have crucified the flesh.”
