Print SBLGNT's text without καί with medium confidence; Tischendorf 8 omits it too. ℵ* A B agree, and καί reads as a clarifying addition. The alternative (NA28, RP, TR) adds 'also'; the sense is the same.

Evidence

6 sources

Editions (checked 2026-10-30): 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 (Tischendorf's notation); 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.

SBLGNT, WH, Treg, and Tischendorf 8 (p. 382) omit καί; NA28, RP2018, and TR have it.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 382, leaf n389): without καί: ℵ* A B, 1908, 436, and about a dozen other minuscules, two Vulgate manuscripts (demid, tol), cop, Cyril, John of Damascus. With καί: ℵc C D E F G K L P and by far the most others, the Latin d e f g and vg, the Syriac, arm, aeth, Origen (Lat.), Theodoret, Theophylact, Oecumenius.

Internal: καί ("also") makes explicit that uncircumcised believers share Abraham's crediting, which the clause already says; it is an easy addition. Its omission after -ναι could also be accidental.
