Bible Question: Is "through His blood" in the original Greek? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dave! Basically, there is very little textual support for the phrase 'though his blood' in Col. 1:14. However, the phrase is thoroughly supported in Eph. 1:7. Here is how Clarke explains the situation in his commentary: "The clause,..., Through his blood, is omitted by ABCDEFG, and by most others of weight and importance; by the Syriac, Arabic of Erpen, Coptic, Ethiopic, Sahidic, some copies of the Vulgate and by the Itala; and by most of the Greek fathers. Griesbach has left it out of the text. It is likely that the reading here is not genuine; yet that we have redemption any other way than through the sacrifice of Christ, the Scriptures declare not. The same phrase is used Eph 1:7, where there is no various reading in any of the MSS., versions, or fathers." I hope this helps. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
