Hebrews 4:15 ยท Major unresolved
Without Sin Is a Question to Check
The extraction stops before the final clause, but this is a verification question rather than an omission claim.
Thesis: Codex H matters in Hebrews 4:15 because the extracted line stops before the 'without sin' clause; that makes the row urgent to verify, not safe to repeat as an omission.
Hebrews 4:15 is the row most likely to be misunderstood in public. The extracted Codex H text stops after 'our weaknesses,' before the clause about being tested yet without sin.
The audit keeps this as a major unresolved candidate below critical status because the evidence still needs image and apparatus confirmation, and Christ's sinlessness is secure elsewhere.
Where the verse sits: confidence before the throne
The verse sits between the confession that believers have a great high priest and the invitation to draw near to the throne of grace.
It grounds confidence in Jesus' sympathy with human weakness.
What Codex H changes: the extraction stops early
The TEI has Hebrews 4:15 ending on folio 57v after 'our weaknesses.' Hebrews 4:16 resumes on 58r at 'grace.'
No explicit 4:15 gap marker appears in the extracted block. That is why the row remains unresolved rather than dismissed.
The verse with and without the change: Hebrews 4:15 stops before the final clause
Without the comparator continuation: We have a high priest able to sympathize with our weaknesses.
With the comparator continuation: We have a high priest able to sympathize with our weaknesses, one tested in every way according to likeness, without sin.
Book and chapter context: Jesus as sympathetic high priest
Hebrews 4 brings warning and promise together. The word of God exposes the heart, and the high priest gives believers reason to approach God.
The final clause matters because Hebrews presents Jesus as both near to human weakness and uniquely faithful.
Scholarship snapshot: unresolved until images and apparatus are checked
The audit explicitly calls for folio-image review and licensed NA28/UBS5/ECM apparatus confirmation before any scholarly claim.
The public summary must therefore be disciplined: this is a place to check, not a claim that Codex H omits 'without sin'.
What this adds: a priority for verification
Codex H adds a concrete research priority. This row should be checked against the physical or digital image and a full apparatus.
It also gives readers a good example of why extraction boundaries matter. A missing clause in an extracted line is not automatically a manuscript omission.
Synthesis: the caveat is the finding
The honest finding is that the current extraction stops early and raises a serious verification question.
That is still important. It tells researchers where to look next and tells public readers why caution protects truth.
