Thank you. I checked the other editions of GNT and it is so:
TR ends with PASIN hUMIN
BYZ ends with PASIN hHMIN
NA26 ends with PASIN.
Why thei include/ommit hUMIN/hEMIN is not a question for me at this
moment.
If the inclusion/ommission has any theological implications, I am not
sure and - as it is out of scope of b-greek - I will not discuss it
on-line. I am open for an off-line exchange of opinions.
I thing, as Matthew doe's, it is likly the hUMIN is related to the whole
string.
As I was very busy the whole day I could not react earlier. I look
forward to see the recent postings as soon I will upload this and
download the yesterday's portion.
