The Sinaitic and the Vatican #1209.

The following words, found in our common Version, are not found in the oldest MSS. and are evidently no part of the Divine Word. Let each Berean go through his Bible, pencil in hand, and mark these the passages affected and note the improvement.

* Omitted by Sinaitic MS. Those not thus marked are omitted by both the Sinaitic and Vatican MSS. The Epistles to Timothy, the latter part of Hebrews, and all of Revelation are missing from the Vatican MS. No. 1209, having been lost during the fifteen or more centuries since it was written. The Sinaitic MS. is perfect and complete and is the oldest known copy of the Scriptures, having been written (it is believed) in the year 331 A.D.
