Philippians 2

Philippians 2:2

:TEXT: “united in plyour thinking”

p46 Sc B D F G K P 104 614 630 1739 1881 2495 Byz Lect four lat one vg syr(p,h)

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: BNOTES: “thinking the same thing”

S* A C I Psi 33 81 1241 most lat most vg

ASVnCOMMENTS: Apparently the word “same” was borrowed by copyists from the similar phrase in the first part of the verse.

Philippians 2:12

:TEXT: “not only as in my presence but”

p46 S A C D G K P Psi 81 104 614 630 1739 1881 2495 Byz Lect most lat vg syr(h)

KJV ASV RSV NASV RANK: BNOTES: “not only in my presence but”

B 33 1241 two lat syr(p) cop

ASVn NIV NEB : The word “as” may have been omitted by a few copyists as superfluous. This was probably also the case with the NIV, NEB, and TEV.

Philippians 2:26

:TEXT: “he has been longing for plyou all”

\ Sc B G K P Psi 614 630 1739 1881 Byz Lect most lat vg cop(south)

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB RANK: CNOTES: “he has been longing to see plyou all”

S* A C D I(vid) 33 81 104 1241 2495 two lat syr(p,h,pal) cop(north)

ASVn NASVn : The word “for” in the text reading is implied except for the evidence listed in braces which contains the word “for” in the text. The infinitive “to see” seems to be a natural expansion here and was more likely to be added by copyists than omitted.

Philippians 2:30

:TEXT: “on account of the work of Christ he came near to death”

p46 B D G K 614 630 1739 1881 2495 Byz Lect lat vg syr(p) cop(south)

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: CNOTES: “on account of the work of the Lord he came near to death”

S A P Psi 33 81 104 1241 syr(h) cop(north)

ASVnOTHER: “on account of the work he came near to death”

C

Although it is possible that the original simply had “the work” and “of Christ” or “of the Lord” were added by copyists, it is more likely that one of them was accidently omitted. The words “of Christ” seem to be supported by the better evidence. Perhaps “of the Lord” was borrowed by copyists from passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:58 and 1 Corinthians 16:10.
