substantial for any of the NT) that should be dated before 200 C.E. See the
Nestle-Aland 27th edition, pp. 684-688. To go back into even the middle of
the second century you have to deal with patristic quotations which are
generally a can of worms to deal with. My experience has shown me anything
but a firm NT text in second century Christian authors. Can any NT textual
critics help us out here?

I was referring to texts from the gospels, not Paul, and I'm not disputing
the widespread variations in the text. The issue is the degree and nature of
variation.
