Harold has suggested the shorter reading argument might have influenced the
editors of UBS3. I would also suggest the omission of a divine name was
rare. Except for an accident, it is difficult to explain the omission of
the name of God in any text.

The short introduction also by Greenlee is easy to understand and I think
very helpful in the beginning of the study of the text.
