Philippians 4:13

I am able to do all things ¹  through the one ²  who strengthens me.

Isa 40:29-31; Isa 41:10; Isa 45:24; Joh 15:4,5,7; 2Co 3:4,5; 2Co 12:9,10; Eph 3:16; Eph 6:10; Col 1:11

¹ tn The Greek word translated “all things” is in emphatic position at the beginning of the Greek sentence.

² tc Although some excellent witnesses lack explicit reference to the one strengthening Paul (so א* A B D* I 33 1739 lat co Cl), the majority of witnesses (א² D² [F G] Ψ 075 1881 Ï sy) add Χριστῷ (Cristw) here (thus, “through Christ who strengthens me”). But this kind of reading is patently secondary, and is a predictable variant. Further, the shorter reading is much harder, for it leaves the agent unspecified.
