Decision

✓ Approved

Printed: πνεύματος
Confidence: medium (team scale)
Significance: translation
Byz / TR: πνεύματος θεοῦ — open RP2018

Editorial decision: print πνεύματος, with SBLGNT, without ἁγίου or θεοῦ. Confidence medium: the edition split is clear, but the short reading’s named Greek support on this page is B alone, against broad support for each longer reading. Says The printed text says the work was by the power of the Spirit. RP, TR, and NA28 add θεοῦ; WH and Tregelles add ἁγίου.

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 ἐν δυνάμει πνεύματος, with no ἁγίου and no θεοῦ (the SBLGNT apparatus aligns that short reading with NIV, which is not one of the editions compared here). WH and Tregelles add ἁγίου. NA28, RP, and TR add θεοῦ.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 446, leaf n453 (novumtestamentum02tisc)): the octava prints ἐν δυνάμει πνεύματος θεοῦ, which is not the SBLGNT wording. πνεύματος θεοῦ (noted in Griesbach’s margin) with ℵ Db L P and many others, the Syriac (Schaaf) and the Peshitta text, aeth (spiritus domini), Origen, Chrysostom, Euthalius, Cyril of Alexandria, Theodoret, Damascene, Theophylact, and Oecumenius. Griesbach, Scholz, and Lachmann read πνεύματος ἁγίου with A C D* and Dc E F G, some minuscules (counted, not listed), d e f g, some Latin, vg, cop, arm, the Peshitta margin, Athanasius, a work of Basil, Didymus, Dial. maced. 452, a citation of Cyril, Theodoret in one place, Augustine in one place, and Ambrosiaster. The first-hand Greek of G is cited in parentheses as αὐτοῦ πνεύματος ἁγίου, so G is not counted here for the plain ἁγίου form. Tischendorf’s earlier edition (with a mark in Griesbach’s margin) reads πνεύματος without addition, with B, also Pelagius’s commentary (not the text) and Vigilius (Varimadum, not treatise 12). B is named only for the short reading; the θεοῦ list names ℵ and D in a later hand (Db), not B.

The BSB’s English at this point follows the θεοῦ reading; see note.language.Rom.15.14-Rom.15.21.hierourgounta.
