Hebrews
1:3 | (added words in bold)
by himself cleansed
sins
Original Text: καθαρισμον των αμαρτιων (cleansed sins). This may be the
original reading according to several early MSS (א A B), as well as D1
H* P Ψ 33.
Textual Ga-filling: Other
MSS adds δι εαυτου (by himself). This is the
reading in the earliest MS (P46), as well as D* Hc 0243
1739 Maj. The textual evidence is divided; either reading could be original. But
if the reading of א et al., is original, “by himself” is the product of natural
gap-filling. (Philip Wesley Comfort, A Commentary on Textual Additions to
the New Testament [Grand Rapids, Mich.: Kregel, Inc., 2017], 139)
