1 Corinthians 15:30-32

15:30 Why too are we in danger every hour? 15:31 Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as ¹  my boasting in you, ²  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 15:32 If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, ³  what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. ⁴ 

[15:31]  ¹ tn Or, more literally, “I swear by the boasting in you.”

[15:31]  ² tc ‡ Although the witnesses for the shorter reading (Ì⁴⁶ D F G Ψ 075 0243 1739 1881 Ï) are not as strong as for the addition of ἀδελφοί (adelfoi, “brothers”) at this juncture (א A B K P 33 81 104 365 1175 2464 lat sy co), it is difficult to find a reason why scribes would either intentionally or unintentionally drop the address here. Thus, the shorter reading is slightly preferred.
