Christological Punctuation

Abstract The 26th edition of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, followed by the 27th and 28th editions, deleted a punctuation variant in Phil 2:7 noted in the 25th, which drew attention to a syntactical ambiguity in the construal of three successive participial phrases (7b-d). Resolutions of this ambiguity have significant consequences for the passage's christological perspective. Future editions should revise and restore this variant.
