Gen 8 and its NT texts: form only
Says Eph 5:2 has προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, the phrase ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας of Swete 8:21. The SBLGNT apparatus has ἡμᾶς (Byzantine Textform, NA28) against ὑμᾶς (Westcott and Hort, Tregelles), and ἡμῶν (Byzantine Textform, NA28, Tregelles) against ὑμῶν (Westcott and Hort). The Textus Receptus has ἡμᾶς and ἡμῶν.
Says 2 Cor 2:15 has Χριστοῦ εὐωδία ἐσμὲν τῷ θεῷ, with the noun of Swete 8:21. There is no SBLGNT apparatus unit, and the Textus Receptus has the same words.
Says Matt 7:11 has εἰ οὖν ὑμεῖς πονηροὶ ὄντες, with the adjective of Swete 8:21 ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρά. There is no SBLGNT apparatus unit, and the Textus Receptus has the same words.
Says Jas 5:7 has ὁ γεωργὸς ἐκδέχεται τὸν τίμιον καρπὸν τῆς γῆς … ἕως λάβῃ πρόϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον. The apparatus has αὐτῷ (Westcott and Hort, Tregelles, NA28) against αὐτόν (Byzantine Textform), and ὑετὸν added after λάβῃ in the Byzantine Textform; the Textus Receptus reads ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ ἕως ἂν λάβῃ ὑετὸν πρώϊμον. It shares no seasonal term with Swete 8:22.
Uncertain Form agreement is not a claim about which text a writer used.
