Printed: προσκόπτει ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ
Confidence: medium (team scale)
Significance: translation
Byz / TR: προσκόπτει ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ — open RP2018

Editorial decision: print προσκόπτει ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ with SBLGNT, Tregelles, RP, and TR. Confidence medium: early witnesses divide (ℵ* A C and Origen for the shorter text; B and the later majority, with ℵc, for the longer). The shorter WH/NA28 reading is kept as the other form in this unit. Says On the printed text, it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything by which a brother stumbles, is caused to stumble, or is weak.

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, Tregelles, RP, and TR print the longer clause ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ after προσκόπτει. WH and NA28 omit it. The SBLGNT apparatus places the longer text on the left (Treg, RP) and the omission on the right (WH, NA28); the running SBLGNT text includes the longer clause.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 441, leaf n448 (novumtestamentum02tisc)): the octava prints the shorter lemma, μηδὲ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σου προσκόπτει, and says it added nothing, with ℵ* (and ℵa) A C, some minuscules, the Syriac (Schaaf), cop aeth, a citation of Origen that quotes as far as προσκόπτει, Origen Lat., Damascene, and Augustine. ς (with Griesbach in the text against the margin), Lachmann (neglecting Origen), and Tischendorf’s earlier edition add ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ with ℵc B D E F G L P and nearly all others, d e f g vg, sah, the Peshitta, arm, Basil, Chrysostom, Theodoret, and Ambrosiaster. ℵ* (and P) read λυπεῖται in place of προσκόπτει; ℵ* is therefore not assigned to the shorter reading as if it had προσκόπτει, though it does omit the added clause. P is in the addition list and is not used to support the shorter text. Some minuscules and Chrysostom in one place have a different order (σκανδαλίζεται ἢ προσκόπτει ἢ ἀσθενεῖ); those numbers are counted, not listed.

Minor variants (box lines; p. 440, leaf n447, and p. 441, leaf n448): 14:14 δι’ ἑαυτοῦ (ℵ B C and others; SBLGNT, WH, NA28, and TR) / δι’ αὐτοῦ (A D E F G L P and far more others; Treg, RP). 14:15 εἰ γάρ (ℵ A B C D E F G P and others; SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / εἰ δέ (L and most others, Chrysostom, Theodoret; RP, TR). 14:18 ἐν τούτῳ (ℵ* A B C D* F G P; SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28) / ἐν τούτοις (ℵc Dc E L and nearly all others; RP, TR). 14:22 ἣν: present with ℵ A B C and others, with SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28; ς and Tischendorf’s earlier edition omit ἣν with D E F G L P and apparently all others, with RP and TR. 14:22 κατὰ σεαυτόν (ℵ A B C D E L P and more, with SBLGNT, WH, Treg, NA28, and RP) / κατὰ σαυτόν (ς, against ςe, Griesbach, and Scholz, with few minuscules and Chrysostom; TR).
