Evidence

9 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 head of the list in 5:19. SBLGNT, WH, Treg, and NA28 begin ἅτινά ἐστιν πορνεία; RP and TR begin ἅτινά ἐστιν μοιχεία, πορνεία.

Tischendorf (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 655, leaf n662 (novumtestamentum02tisc)). The octava’s list begins “πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια”, without μοιχεία.

WH (Westcott and Hort (1881; 1892 printing), p. 427, leaf n432 (newtestamentinor00west_0)) begins the list “πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια”, without μοιχεία.

Commentators: Burton (p. 305) gives the list as “fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness”, and Chrysostom’s homily (p. 42) begins it “fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,” each without adultery.

Minor variants (box lines): 5:14 πεπλήρωται (SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / πληροῦται (RP, TR); σεαυτόν (SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / ἑαυτόν (RP, TR); 5:17 ταῦτα γὰρ (SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / ταῦτα δὲ (RP, TR); ἀλλήλοις ἀντίκειται (SBLGNT) / ἀντίκειται ἀλλήλοις (RP, TR); ἃ ἐὰν (SBLGNT) / ἃ ἂν (RP, TR); 5:20 ἔρις, ζῆλος (SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / ἔρεις, ζῆλοι (RP, TR); WH prints ⌈ἔρις, ζῆλος⌉ with “ἔρεις, ζῆλοι” in its margin.

Internal: Matthew 15:19 lists adultery beside sexual immorality, and Mark 7:21 names both in one list.
