A Textual Commentary On The Greek NT

Romans 15:32

Romans 15:32 evn cara|/ evlqw.n pro.j u`ma/j dia. qelh,matoj qeou/ sunanapau,swmai u`mi/n {C}

This verse involves a nest of variant readings, the easiest of which to evaluate are those that involve the word or words that qualify qelh,matoj. Paul nowhere else speaks of qelh,matoj VIhsou/ Cristou/ (a*) or qel) Cristou/ VIhsou/ (D*) or qel) kuri,ou VIhsou/ (B), but always of qelh,matoj $tou/% qeou/. The omission of sunanapau,swmai u`mi/n (î⁴⁶ B) is more difficult to account for, but its absence from î⁴⁶ may have been the result of an accident in transcription when the eye of the copyist passed from ;elymatoc;=u= to ode;=c= in ver. Romans 15:33. In a few Western witnesses sunanapau,swmai is replaced by avnayu,xw (D*) or avnayu,cw (G). The paratactic construction (e;lqw … kai,) appears to be a scribal simplification of the syntax.
