People have told me I am going to burn in hell for reading an NIV... yes sure I am. NOT. I hate to think what these KJ only people think of all the poor condemed souls living in non English speaking countries, I guess they think they should all learn English and read the King James in English in order to be saved, so likes of
wwjd_kilden should burn her Norwegien translation and just stick with the King James.
People have already explained why the verses are "missing" but they are not really missing.
My NIV has all the so called missing verses printed on bottom of page, sure tiny writing, but they still print the "missing" verse.
This is also why its important to learn how to study properly, use several versions of Bible and even Strongs numbering, compare verses, if one verse is wildley different to another, then a check another Bible and see what that says.
I get the impression that most of the King James only people seem to think the apostles etc all went around speaking English, they fail to understand the complexities of translating ancient documents in Greek, Hebrew and Latin to modern English. In reality, they should really be telling us to learn Greek and Hebrew and Latin and read the early documents. I have noticed a number of inacurate translation and use of English words in the King James over the years, looking at original Hebrew and Greek showed the true reflection and deeper meaning that a single word emphasises, which needs several sentences to convey in English.
