Print the verse without the addition, with high confidence: the early witnesses of every group, and the two-stage growth of the clause from 8:4. The longer forms make "no condemnation" appear to depend on the believer's walk; 8:4 itself is discussed in note.language.Rom.8.1-Rom.8.4.peri-hamartias-dikaioma.

Evidence

6 sources

Editions (checked 2026-11-01): SBLGNT, RP2018, TR (local files); WH/Treg/NA28 from the SBLGNT apparatus; NA28 by reference only. Sigla: as in STYLE_GUIDE §2.3; corrector notation and full key in src.tischendorf-8. Minuscules are Gregory–Aland numbers, with Tischendorf's Pauline number once in parentheses ("Tisch."); those not verified are counted, not listed. Witnesses are listed only where Tischendorf names them.

SBLGNT, NA28, WH, Treg, and Tischendorf 8 (p. 399) end the verse at Ἰησοῦ; RP2018 and TR add the full clause.

Manuscripts (Tischendorf 8, vol. 2 (1872), p. 399, leaf n406): without addition: ℵ* B C D* F G (two of them with a blank space), 1908 (Tisch. 47), two more minuscules, d* g sah cop aeth, one Armenian manuscript, Origen, the Dialogue of Adamantius, Athanasius, Cyril, Origen (Lat.), Augustine. The first half only: A Db, one minuscule, d f m vg go syrsch arm, Basil, Chrysostom, Victorinus. The full clause: ℵc Dc E K L P and most others, e syr^p, Theodoret, Theophylact, Oecumenius.

Internal: the clause repeats 8:4b word for word. Copying it forward, first in part and then in full, explains both longer forms; no reason for dropping it is apparent.
