Significance: minor
Byz / TR: Διὸ καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεός — open RP2018

Print Διό with medium confidence. The Alexandrian witnesses are strong, but the Western support for καί (D, the Old Latin, the Naassenes cited by Hippolytus) is early, and the Byzantine tradition agrees with it. The sense is barely affected.

Evidence

7 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.

SBLGNT has Διό; RP2018 and TR have Διὸ καί.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 367): Διό: ℵ A B C and several minuscules, vg, syrsch, cop, arm, Origen, Didymus, Ambrosiaster. Διὸ καί: D E G K L P and most others, the Old Latin d e g, syr^p, the Naassenes cited by Hippolytus, Athanasius, Chrysostom, Theodoret.

Internal: καί could have been added to stress that the handing over matches the sin of 1:23. The Western and Byzantine witnesses agree in having it.
