KJV : The words “and purity” are enclosed in brackets in the UBS text. The evidence listed in braces reverses the order to have “purity” before “sincerity.” Although it is possible that “purity” was originally a marginal gloss by copyists on “sincerity” that later copyists added to the text, the fact that the two words are spelled almost alike makes it likely that the second was accidently omitted when copyists’ eyes jumped from the end of “sincerity” to the end of “purity.”
