The text reading has better evidence supporting it than that in the notes. The difference is between the accusative (text) and genitive (notes) cases. Some copyists changed “Jesus” to “Christ.”

The name “Jesus” is enclosed in brackets in the UBS text. Although it is possible that the name “Jesus” was added by copyists, either before or after “Christ,” a majority of the UBS Textual Committee felt that the evidence indicated it should be included.

ASVnCOMMENTS: Although there was a tendency among copyists to add titles to the name of “Jesus,” a majority of the UBS Textual Committee felt that the shorter reading came from copyists making this passage read like Romans 8:11. It is also possible that the word “Lord” was accidently omitted when copyists’ eyes jumped from the end of “the” to the end of “Lord,” both of which end in the same two letters.
