RSVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: The evidence listed in braces adds “Christ” to “Jesus,” a common scribal expansion. The manuscripts that omit the benediction here have apparently moved it to follow verse 23, perhaps to prevent the greetings in verse Romans 16:21-23 from looking like an afterthought.

The oldest manuscripts have this sentence at the end of verse Romans 16:20. Some manuscripts moved it here and others combined the two by having it both places. See the comments above. A few manuscripts have it both at the end of verse 20 and at the end of verse Romans 16:27.

Verses Romans 16:25-27 are enclosed in brackets in the UBS text, since they are missing here from many manuscripts. They are included here by early manuscripts of several kinds of ancient text. See also the comments on Romans 14:23; Romans 15:33. The evidence listed in braces inserts verse Romans 16:24 following these verses. Manuscript p61 only contains Romans 16:23-27. Three vulgate manuscripts omit chapter Romans 15:1 through Romans 16:23.

Romans 16:27

KJV ASVn RSV NASV NIV NEB : The words “to him” are literally “to whom” which makes for a difficult grammatical construction. The evidence listed in braces changes it to “to him” to make it easier. A few manuscripts removed the grammatical difficulty by omitting it altogether.
