In the text that follows, the textual base is the edition of Westcott and Hort. The student is required to collate (compare) this text with the text of Nestle-Aland 27. To do this the student need merely compare, word for word, the text found following and the text printed in Nestle, noting all variations, no matter how small. I do no comment on every variant in what follows; only the more significant. But, again, the student is required to note every variant.

1:1 PAULOS DOULOS IHSOU XRISTOU KLHTOS APOSTOLOS AFWRISMENOS EIS EUAGGELION QEOU

Textual note: In many manuscripts the order is "Jesus Christ"; some have "Christ Jesus". Interestingly, in Paul's early letters the order is "Jesus Christ" while in his later letters it is "Christ Jesus".

The evidence is fairly well distributed on the readings here. The internal criteria must take precedence so that the reading in the text above is considered more likely original.

Textual note: G, 1739, 1908, It(g), and Origen omit "in Rome". The majority of ancient texts contain it and it is therefore retained here.

Textual note: "first" is absent from B (the textual basis of the next included in this course). There seems no reason to delete it other than the fact that Marcion did so in his text in order to remove priority from the Jews.
