Acts 28:29   TR includes, "And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves."

1 Cor. 11:29   TR says he that eats and drinks "unworthily" eats and drinks damnation to himself.  

Galatians.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
Gal. 3:1   TR says the effect of being bewitched is to "not obey the truth."  
Gal. 3:17   TR says the covenant is "in Christ."

Philippians.

Colossians.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
Col. 1:2   In TR "the Lord Jesus Christ" is included in the role of granting grace and peace to the Colossians.  
Col. 1:14   TR says we have redemption "through his blood."  
Col. 2:11   TR refers to the "sins of the flesh." Circumcision is compared to sanctification. Just as the foreskin is removed in circumcision while allowing the member to remain, sanctification removes "sins" even though the flesh (body) remains, though we walk not after it.  
Col. 2:18   TR has a warning about intruding into those things which one "hath not seen", not "hath seen". The warning in the Textus Receptus is against occultism.
