Decision

✓ Approved

Printed: ἡμῶν
Confidence: high (team scale)
Significance: translation
Byz / TR: ὑμῶν — open RP2018

Editorial decision: print ἡμῶν, with SBLGNT, WH, Treg, and NA28. Confidence high: ℵ A B C D* agree, and the change to ὑμῶν follows “you are sons.” Says On either reading God sent the Spirit of his Son into the hearts of his sons.

Evidence

7 sources

Editions: SBLGNT; RP2018 (Byz); Scrivener 1894 (TR). Treg and NA28 alignment follows the SBLGNT apparatus; NA28 is cited by reference only. WH and Tischendorf are cited as printed (Tischendorf’s text is “Other”). Sigla: corrector notation follows Tischendorf, as explained in src.tischendorf-8.

The unit is the pronoun in εἰς τὰς καρδίας ἡμῶν. SBLGNT, WH, Treg, and NA28 print ἡμῶν; RP and TR print ὑμῶν.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 645, leaf n652 (novumtestamentum02tisc)): the octava prints ἡμῶν with ℵ A B C D* F G P, others, and d e f g. ς reads ὑμῶν with D in a corrector’s hand, E K L, very many others, the Clementine Vulgate, demid, tol, others, go, both Syriac versions, cop, and aeth.

WH (Westcott and Hort (1881; 1892 printing), p. 424, leaf n429 (newtestamentinor00west_0)) prints ἡμῶν and has no margin reading here.

Minor variants (box lines): 4:3 ἤμεθα (SBLGNT, WH, NA28) / ἦμεν (Treg, RP, TR); 4:8 φύσει μὴ (SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / μὴ φύσει (RP, TR); 4:9 δουλεύειν (SBLGNT, NA28, RP, TR) / δουλεῦσαι (WH, Treg).

Internal: ὑμῶν matches “because you are sons” earlier in the verse; ἡμῶν joins Paul to them, as in 4:5.
