Subject: omitted scripture ..BRAD K |
Bible Note: My mistake and accept my apology (unfortunately I've been off work today fighting a nasty little cold bug and have lots of cold medicine in me). The short answer is the manuscripts that KJV relied on verses what other translations use (example the Dead Sea Scrolls where not available to the KJV translators). Just because the statement appears to be a good statement, doesn't mean it was in the original text. How do we know what was in the original text? By comparing various manuscripts, codex, and fragments. Without this turning into a way longer post than I feel up to right now, some scriptures that come to mind is the ending of Mark, the story of the woman caught in adultery, and the ending of the Lord's prayer. Many of the modern translations (NASB, ESV, NIV, NLT, NKJV) make notes of scripture that may or may not belong there. Hope this help.

(I know a very simple example just trying to give you something to think on.)) |
