Corpus-Paul

Dear Sheila McGinn

You wrote:

"There is enough text critical evidence to raise problems for me.  As
Metzger points
out in his _Textual
Commentary on the GNT_, several witnesses transpose verses 34-35 to follow
verse 40.
This dislocation is
exactly what one would expect from the insertion of a marginal gloss.
Winsome Munro
makes a good case for
this being an insertion from someone like the author of the PE."

May I ask you if you have a subjective position on this issue which might
influence your judgment?  Do you want to portray Paul as a nice guy?
