1 | Words were ADDED to later mss. ... | Rom 8:1 | kalos | 140956 | ||
Words were ADDED to later mss. ... ...that WERE NOT IN earlier manuscripts. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 KJV American Standard Version (ASV 1901) There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. In Romans 8:1 the statement ends with "Christ Jesus." The last ten words were evidently copied from v. 4, where they properly express the result of "no condemnation," not its cause. Words were ADDED to later manuscripts that WERE NOT IN earlier manuscripts. ____________________ "One of the rules of textual criticism is that a shorter reading is preferable to a longer reading." "Another rule of textual criticism is that a more difficult reading is to be preferred to a less difficult one." ____________________ [The following article is quoted from www.solagroup.org. Comments in brackets are mine and do not appear in the article itself.] 'An additional factor that contributed to the reliability and accuracy of the Greek text was advancement in the art of textual criticism itself. While this important subject can be complicated, its basic aim is quite straightforward. It is important to remember that the original manuscripts of the biblical books, technically called the autographa, have not survived, and the copies made from these original documents contain readings, called variants, that do not always agree with one another. The goal of textual criticism is to formulate and apply rules that enable an editor to select the variant reading to achieve the most accurate text. 'An illustration of the application of these rules of textual criticism may aid us in understanding what an editor does. For example, one of the rules of textual criticism is that a shorter reading is preferable to a longer reading. THE REASON FOR THIS RULE IS THAT A SCRIBE WOULD TEND TO ADD WORDS FOR CLARIFICATION OR EXPLANATION RATHER THAN DELETING THEM.' [Words were ADDED to later manuscripts that WERE NOT IN earlier manuscripts.] 'Another rule of textual criticism is that a more difficult reading is to be preferred to a less difficult one. A SCRIBE WOULD BE TEMPTED TO ADD WORDS OF EXPLANATION that would enable the reader to understand the meaning of a difficult text rather than leaving such a reading unexplained' ['A scribe would be tempted to add words of explanation' to a later manuscript -- words that WERE NOT IN the earlier manuscript. Words added to later manuscripts WERE PUT THERE BY SCRIBES, not by divine inspiration.] ____________________ (http://www.solagroup.org/articles/historyofthebible/hotb_0002.html) (Emphasis added) |
