• Romans 3:12 (Textual Commentary (Metzger)): οὐκ ἔστιν] (2) {C} The second instance of οὐκ ἔστιν is absent from several witnesses (B 1739 syr Origen), which in this respect differ from the Septuagint text of Ps 13:3. Although the non-Septuagintal reading is generally to be preferred when it appears that the other reading has been assimilated to the Septuagint, in this case a majority of the Committee preferred the longer reading, supported as it is by the mass of witnesses, considering it probable that οὐκ ἔστιν was deleted as superfluous. At the same time, because of the weight of the combination of witnesses that omit the words (B 1739 syr Origen), it was decided to enclose them within square brackets.
