After mono [translated as "only"], K L P and many minuscules [manuscripts written in cursive letters, dating from the 9th century], followed by the Textus Receptus [16th century], add sopho [translated as "wise"], thus assimilating the doxology to Ro 16:27.

Several of the later uncials, as well as most minuscules (followed by the Textus Receptus), omit pro pantos tou aionos [translated as "before all the age/aeon"], perhaps because the expression did not seem to be appropriate in a doxology. The words [pro pantos tou aionos] are strongly supported by [the majority of the most trustworthy ancient manuscripts].
