Or, "and also." The unlearned reader may be assured that there is no variant in the ancient and best authorities of the least significance doctrinally here. "Also" is added after "to you", not because it is certain, but in deference to the oldest MSS. and some of the Old versions. But it affects emphasis only, as it may be due to the same form in the next clause.
