W. Kelly Translation

23
having written by their hand, The apostles and the elder brethrena to the brethren which are of [the] Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, greeting.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Some MSS. read, "The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren," but there is very good authority for dropping the second "and," and so putting together "the elder brethren." The common text "elders and the brethren" as opposed to the critical text "elder brethren" probably was framed to suit verse 22; it was a mere clerical error.
