Corrections to the first printing (set 1).
These corrections were made to the printed version in March 2026. Most of them were introduced in conjunction with the final proofs of UBS6. Many thanks to Amy Anderson, William Chong, Dave Crociani, Marie-Luise Lakmann, Greg Paulson, Peter Rodgers and Tommy Wasserman for their contributions to the list below. The variation units at James 5:20 and 3 John 15 were added to UBS6 after the commentary had gone to press. A list of these corrections may be downloaded as a PDF.

p. 33*, line 21. For "1,008" read "1,017".
p. 20, line 23 (Matt. 10:3). For "Sinaitic Syriac" read "next verse in the Sinaitic Syriac".
p. 21, line 20 (Matt. 10:4). after "context." add "For the addition of ‘Judas the son of James’ here in the Sinaitic Syriac, see the previous unit.".
p. 29, line 5 (Matt. 13:55). Delete 𝔓103vid.
p. 38, line 16 (Matt. 17:4). Delete 565 from the witnesses for ποιήσομεν (it reads ποιήσωμεν).
p. 39, lines 5 and 7 (Matt. 17:21). For "ten" read "nine", and delete 579.
p. 49 n. 34 (Matt. 20:30). For "Min 2005: 209–213," read "Min 2005: 289–293,".
p. 51, line 5 (Matt. 21:44). After "from", add "Papyrus 104 (apparently),"
p. 58, lines 21–27 (Matt. 25:1). Replace the text "A couple ... also seen in" with the following: "The dative τῷ νυμφίῳ (‘the bridegroom’; 04 157 892*) provides the case expected for the verb ὑπαντᾶν (‘to meet’) rather than the genitive following the noun (‘a meeting with’; see also the next unit). Some early witnesses have a longer text,"
p. 61, line 12 (Matt. 26:28). Delete 𝔓45vid .
p. 197, four lines up (John 1:18). For "εἰ μὴ ὁ μονογενὴς θεός (‘except the only-begotten God’;" read "εἰ μὴ ὁ μονογενὴς υἱός (‘except the only-begotten Son’;"

p. 340. Add new entry for James 5:20.
5:20 ἁμαρτιῶν. (of sins.) {A}
At the end of the letter, a few minuscules include ἀμήν (‘Amen’; 1448 1611 1852), while another has a doxology reading ὅτι αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ἀμήν (‘For to him be glory for ever, Amen’; 2492: compare Rom. 11:36, 16:27; Heb. 13:21). These additions reflect the tradition of adding Amen at the end of biblical books regardless of the context, probably influenced by their liturgical reading.
p. 348, line 14 (1Pet. 5:14). For "{A}" read "♦".
p. 348, lines 25–26 (1Pet. 5:14). Replace the text "The principal reason ... too," with: "The final Amen".

In contrast to 1 John 5:21 and 2 John 13, where the majority of manuscripts include a final Amen, here it is only attested in two minuscules (307 1852). The context in all three letters indicates that this is a later addition.
