iii. 22. Marcion seems to have dropped the name of Apollos here. Indeed,
there is no trace in Marcion of any of the passages where Paul mentions
his name. “What was Apollos to the Church of the second century?” (Zahn,
_GK._ i. 649.)
v. 2. For ἐπενθήσατε Naber suggests ἐπενοήσατε. This is not noticed by
Baljon, who is elsewhere careful to mention the conjectural emendations
proposed by his countrymen.
vi. 20. It was doubtless owing to a transcriptional error that Marcion
read ἄρατε between δοξάσατε and τὸν θεόν. But how it originated, whether
from ἄρα δὲ = ἄρα δὴ or by dittography, it is hard to say.
x. 9. In place of τὸν κύριον we find τὸν Χριστὸν read by D G K L,
Marcion, Irenæus (iv. 27, 3), Clement (_Ecl. Proph._, 49), and the early
versions. See above, p. 152, and compare Zahn on the reading Ἰησοῦς for
κύριος in Jude 5 (_Einleitung_, ii. 88 f.).
xiv. 19. For νοΐ μου Marcion read “per legem” διὰ τὸν νόμον, which was
arrived at partly by a transcriptional error and partly by conscious
alteration. This could not have occurred, however, unless the original
reading was διὰ τοῦ νοός μου, which is still found in a good many
manuscripts, and not τῷ νοΐ μου, the reading preferred by most of our
editors. The latter is perhaps the result of an assimilation to the
construction of γλώσσῃ.
xiv. 31-34. These verses are variously punctuated by recent editors, the
main difference being with regard to the arrangement of the clause ὡς ἐν
πάσαις ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῶν ἁγίων. This clause is referred to verse 31 by
Westcott and Hort, who place a comma after παρακαλῶνται and bracket the
intervening words (32, 33_a_) as a parenthesis. Tischendorf and Weiss
place a period after εἰρήνης, and link the ὡς clause to what follows.
This arrangement Westcott and Hort indicate in their margin. For details
and reasoning, see the Commentaries.
xiv. 34, 35. These two verses follow verse 40 in D E F G 93,
Ambrosiaster, and Sedulius. In Codex Fuldensis, verses 36-40 are found
in the margin after verse 33, where they were inserted by Victor of
Capua (see p. 122), who did not, however, remove them from their place
further down. He must therefore have had before him a manuscript
exhibiting this arrangement. We must suppose either that all these
manuscripts are ultimately derived from one and the same exemplar, in
which this arrangement of the verses occurred, or, as Heinrici suggests,
that the original document itself gave occasion to this variety by
having these verses written in its margin. Our modern editors are
unanimous in following the usual order.
xv. 38. Zahn has shown that in all likelihood the substitution of πνεῦμα
for the first σῶμα was due to certain followers of Marcion. See his
_GK._ i. 615; also _Zeitschrift für Kirchengeschichte_, ix. 198 ff.
