Printed: διὰ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ
Confidence: low (team scale)
Significance: minor
Byz / TR: διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ — open RP2018

Print SBLGNT's Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, with low confidence. ℵ* and B stand against the rest, and internal evidence cuts both ways, so the base text is kept (D⁷). The meaning is the same in either order.

Evidence

7 sources

Editions (checked 2026-10-29): SBLGNT, RP2018, TR (local files); WH/Treg/NA28 from the SBLGNT apparatus; NA28 by reference only. Sigla: 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; ᵃ (stored as a) = a second hand; full key in src.tischendorf-8. Minuscules whose Gregory–Aland number is not verified are summarized, not listed. Tischendorf names mainly dissenting witnesses, so some majuscules on the other side are inferred from his silence.

WH, NA28 and SBLGNT read Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ; Treg, RP2018 and TR read Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. Tischendorf's text prints Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 372): Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ: ℵ* B; Origen has ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. Tischendorf notes that in ℵ διά was supplied by the first hand or by corrector a. Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ: ℵa A K L P and apparently all others, vg, the Dialogue of Adamantius, Chrysostom, Theodoret. D E and their Latin d e, Ambrose and Ambrosiaster add τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν. Marcion's text (in Tertullian) lacks Ἰησοῦ.

Internal: as at 1:1 (Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ / Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ), either order can arise by assimilation. The addition in D E is a liturgical expansion.
