‏ Hebrews 10:9

9 then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.” ^{▼▼tc The majority of mss, especially the later ones (א2 0278vid 1739 Maj lat), have ὁ θεός (ho theos, “God”) at this point, while most of the earliest and best witnesses lack such an explicit addressee (so P46 א* A C D K P Ψ 33 1175 1881 2464 al). The longer reading is apparently motivated in part by the wording of Ps 40:8 (39:9 LXX) and by the word order of this same verse as quoted in Heb 10:7.} He does away with ^{▼▼tn Or “abolishes.”} the first to establish the second.
