There is a parenthetical expression in the middle of the current modern English versions of 1 Cor 9: 20, namely, "...(though I myself am not under the law)..." This apparently comes from the Minority Greek text because it is not in the Byzantine Greek text or in the Textus Receptus. Also, it is not in the Peshitta!
My guess is that it is just a scribal insertion of some scribe's opinion since it interrupts Paul's logical thoughts.
Can anyone tell me what Greek texts have this insertion and when it probably happened? I think that the answer is in NA27, but I can't read the codes.
Thanks...
