Most copies, none first-class, add "and" as in T. R. Perhaps it was the wish to connect these verses with the foregoing, from lack of spiritual insight to discern their intimate connection without any outward mark, which added the copulative "and" of the common text. However, the most ancient copies and versions do not countenance it. Nor is it needful to begin a doxology.
