Note: In the Textual Commentary of the Greek New Testament, Second Edition (NY: United Bible Societies [UBS], 1994, page 510), Bruce Metzger writes regarding this verse:
There are three variants: (a) Iesou Christou {Jesus Christ}...; (b) Christou {Christ}...; and (c) Christou Iesou {Christ Jesus}... On the basis of what was regarded as superior external support, a majority of the Committee preferred the reading Ieysou Christou. At the same time, in view of the evidence supporting the shorter reading, it was decided to enclose Ieysou within square brackets. {Bruce Metzger and Allen Wikgren, two of the five editors of the UBS's definitive Greek New Testament (UBS4), then add their contrary conclusion within the following brackets:}
[The reading that best explains the origin of the others is Christou (cf. the same expression in 2.10), which has significant, though limited, support. Pious scribes could not resist adding Iesou before or after Christou; if Iesou had been present in the text originally, no good reason can account for its absence from such manuscripts as A B 33 1739* as well as important versional and patristic witnesses.]
