Split a/b

GC: The TFD for a shows a coherent main section with 03 or A at its top, but also has signs of multiple emergence, while there is a coherent majority attestation for b, if IR=b.

TP: Variant a has the more common word order, although a preceding possessive genitive that is not emphasized is not unusual in the NT.[1] Thus, b cannot be considered the harder reading. The MT, b, has the less common word order, but a has a stronger A-related attestation for the more common word order.
