¹ tn Grk “to know nothing.”

² tn Grk “puffed up”; “inflated.”

³ tn Grk “spiritual things.”

⁴ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

⁵ tn Grk “ignorant.”

⁶ tc ‡ Most witnesses, including some important ones (א A D^s Ψ 048 Ï lat sy bo), have γάρ (gar, “for”) here, while an equally impressive array of witnesses lack the conjunction (Ì⁴⁶ B F G 0243 1739 1881 sa). This conjunction was frequently added by scribes in epistolary literature as a clarifying word, making the connection with the preceding more explicit. As such, it has the earmarks of being a motivated reading and thus should be rejected. NA²⁷ places the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
