A note on the manuscripts
Most scholars agree
"No condemnation" — with a condition, or without one?
Some manuscripts add "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" to the end of Romans 8:1; the earliest do not, and the words are Paul's own, from three verses later.
What it changes: No doctrine, the clause is genuine Pauline teaching either way, printed in full in verse 4 where nobody disputes it.
