2 Timotius 1:11

1:11 For this gospel ¹  I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher. ² 

[1:11]  ¹ tn Grk “for which.”

[1:11]  ² tc Most mss (א² C D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï latt sy co) have ἐθνῶν (eqnwn, “of the Gentiles”) after “teacher.” The shorter reading has poorer external credentials (א* A I 1175 pc), but is preferred because ἐθνῶν probably represents a gloss added by copyists familiar with 1 Tim 2:7. There is no easy explanation for the omission of the word if it were original here.
