ASVn RSVn NASVnCOMMENTS: The evidence listed above in braces has a different word order than that found in the text. The definite article occurs both before and after the Greek word for “love.” Although it is possible that it was added by copyists from Colossians 1:4, it is much more likely that it was accidently omitted through a mistake of the eye, when copyists’ eyes skipped from the definite article before “love” to the definite article after it.
