I think Ted was referring to the seventh word in the verse. UBS4 has
OUK there and not OUPW. I don't know what UBS3 has there, but
the majority of mss do have OUPW.
As textual criticism goes, Ted, if OUPW is the more reasonable
reading, then it is probably to be rejected, since copyists probably
thought the same thing and probably changed it to that.
