WK Translation Notes

a
The words "who also am," are an addition contrary to the best authorities. It is a manifest clog to the sense.
b
The evidence is conflicting as to what follows. "Of Jesus Christ" as in the common text cannot stand; but "in Jesus," though highly supported, is unexampled as to usage, which would seem rather to require "in Christ," or "in Christ Jesus," with excellent authority, and in the latter case very large
c
"Jesus" is the reading of some of the best MSS., others add "Christ." The vulgar reading "Christ Jesus" cannot resist the weight of the older MSS.
