Hi Larry,
Well, I would say that variants
are corruptions (two differing readings can't both be right). Per Owen's view, there are miniscule differences within the broad TR mss which, he says, God has given us to exercise our discernment. Perhaps such a one is the matter of the omicron or omega in Romans 7:6, though Will Kinney says no:

Would you know if Letis' (unpublished at his death),
From Sacred Text to Religious Text: An Intellectual History of the Impact of Lower Criticism on Dogma, or, the multi-media work,
Eclipse of the Sacred are anywhere available, even if in rough draft? (The former was his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Edinburgh.)
Ted Clore, if you're looking in, would you know? Are you able to contact his widow, Susan? It would be a shame to let his valuable work -- upon which he spent so much dilligent investigation and thought -- perish.
