Evidence

8 sources

Editions (checked 2026-10-28): SBLGNT, RP2018, TR (local files); WH/Treg/NA28 from the SBLGNT apparatus; NA28 by reference only. Sigla: as in STYLE_GUIDE §2.3. Minuscules are Gregory–Aland numbers, with Tischendorf's Pauline number once in parentheses ("Tisch."); * = first hand, superscript ᶜ (stored as c, e.g. Dc) = a later corrector; full key in src.tischendorf-8. Tischendorf names mainly dissenting witnesses, so some majuscules on the other side are inferred from his silence.

All print the citation without μου.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 366): C* (first hand only) and some Vulgate manuscripts add μου after δίκαιος. Tischendorf compares the LXX of codex A, which adds μου after δίκαιος (Swete's apparatus). Syrp, Origen in Rufinus's Latin, and Jerome (on Habakkuk) put μου after πίστεως, which Tischendorf compares with the LXX edition and ℵ B. Swete's LXX (vol. 3, p. 59; wording checked on the scan, archive.org theoldtestamenti03swetuoft, leaf 83) prints ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεώς μου ζήσεται, and his apparatus has "δικαιος] + μου A." Jerome explains that Paul followed the LXX because he wrote to Romans, who did not know the Hebrew.

Internal: both additions assimilate Paul's wording to known LXX forms. Paul's μου-less form is also his text at Gal 3:11. See note.language.Rom.1.17.hab-2-4-forms and note.textual.Rom.1.17.hab-2-4-pronoun.
