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. |
