Byz / TR: δώσει τῷ θεῷ — open RP2018

Editorial decision: print δώσει without τῷ θεῷ, with SBLGNT. Confidence medium: the exact combination is a critical choice (Holmes and the WH margin), not a form named in the uncials; omission of τῷ θεῷ has early support in B F G, which however read ἀποδώσει, and δώσει is the majority verb. Says On the SBLGNT text, each will give an account of himself. Says WH, NA28, RP, and TR print τῷ θεῷ, and the BSB has “to God.” That support is this unit, not the SBLGNT wording.

Evidence

7 sources

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

SBLGNT prints ἄρα ἕκαστος ἡμῶν περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λόγον δώσει, without οὖν and without τῷ θεῷ. WH, NA28, RP, and TR print δώσει τῷ θεῷ (and, except Tregelles, with ἄρα οὖν). Tregelles prints ἄρα (without οὖν) and ἀποδώσει τῷ θεῷ. The BSB’s “to God” reflects that longer Greek and is not the SBLGNT text.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 439, leaf n446 (novumtestamentum02tisc), continuing on p. 440, leaf n447): the octava prints ἄρα οὖν … δώσει τῷ θεῷ, which differs from SBLGNT on both οὖν and τῷ θεῷ. δώσει with ℵ A C Dc E L P and nearly all others, Polycarp (as cited), Chrysostom, Theodoret, and Damascene. Lachmann prints ἀποδώσει with B D* F G and a minuscule, and one citation of Chrysostom; Latin reddet (d e f g vg, Origen Lat., Ambrosiaster) is semantic evidence for a “render” verb, and dabit (Cyprian) for “will give,” not identification of the exact Greek verb. τῷ θεῷ with ℵ A C D E L P and nearly all others, Origen Lat., Chrysostom, Theodoret, Damascene, and Ambrosiaster. B F G and some minuscules, with f g, Cyprian, and Augustine, omit τῷ θεῷ; Lachmann therefore brackets τῷ θεῷ. B F G thus read ἀποδώσει and omit τῷ θεῷ, and are not assigned to the SBLGNT combination or to Tregelles’ ἀποδώσει τῷ θεῷ. D* has ἀποδώσει and is in the τῷ θεῷ list, so it is assigned to ἀποδώσει τῷ θεῷ. Chrysostom is cited on more than one side and is kept only where the δώσει list names him with the majority form; he is not assigned to ἀποδώσει.

Minor variants (box line; p. 439, leaf n446, continuing on p. 440, leaf n447): 14:12 ἄρα / ἄρα οὖν: ἄρα οὖν with ℵ A C Db (and Dc) E L P and nearly all others, cop, the Peshitta, arm, Gothic, Chrysostom, Theodoret, and Damascene, with WH, NA28, RP, and TR (and with the octava lemma); Lachmann omits οὖν with B D* F G, P in the first hand, a minuscule, and the Syriac (Schaaf), with Tregelles and SBLGNT. Latin itaque is semantic evidence for a connective, not for the exact particles.
