- 2 John 1:3 tn “And” is not in the Greek text. It is supplied for smoothness in English.
- 2 John 1:3 tc Most witnesses, including some early and significnt ones (א P 5 33 1175 1611 2344 2492 M syph mss,h), have κυρίου (kuriou, “Lord”) before ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ (Iēsou Christou, “Jesus Christ”), but this is a typical scribal addition, motivated by pietistic and liturgical concerns. Further, early and excellent mss (A B Ψ 048 0232 81 323 436 442 1243 1735 1739 1852syph mss) lack κυρίου. Thus, both internally and externally, the shorter reading is strongly preferred.
