Which Bible verses did the NIV delete?

WHOLE Bible verses deleted in the NIV

 
The following WHOLE verses have been removed in the NIV--whether in the text or footnotes.. here is but an example but there is over 40 IN ALL!!! The NIV also is a collaberator with the JWB or Jehovah's Witness "Bible".

Matthew 12:47 -- removed in the footnotes

Matthew 17:21 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." 

Matthew 18:11 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." 

Matthew 21:44 -- removed in the footnotes 

Matthew 23:14 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation." 

Mark 7:16 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." 

Mark 9:44 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." 

Mark 9:46 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." 

Mark 11:26 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." 

Mark 15:28 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors." 

Mark 16:9-20 (all 12 verses) -- There is a line separating the last 12 verses of Mark from the main text. Right under the line it says: [The two most reliable early manuscripts do not have Mark 16:9-20] (NIV, 1978 ed.) The Jehovah's Witness "Bible" also places the last 12 verses of Mark as an appendix of sorts.

Luke 17:36 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left." 

Luke 22:44 -- removed in the footnotes

Luke 22:43 -- removed in the footnotes

Luke 23:17 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)" 

John 5:4 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had." 

John 7:53-8:11 -- removed in the footnotes

Acts 8:37 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. It's deletion makes one think that people can be baptized and saved without believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Sounds Catholic. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." 

Acts 15:34 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still." 

Acts 24:7 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands," 

Acts 28:29 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves." 

Romans 16:24 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
KJV: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." 

I John 5:7 -- Vitally important phrase COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. In the NIV it says, 
"For there are three that testify:" 
Compare the NIV reading with the following Jehovah's Witness reading-- 
"For there are three witness bearers,"
What are you NIV readers missing? What does the real Bible say? 
KJV: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

This is one of the GREATEST verses testifying of the trinity. That is why the Jehovah's Witnesses leave it out. They do not believe in the trinity and they do not believe that Jesus is God. Why does the NIV leave it out...? Whole books have been written on the manuscript evidence that supports inclusion of this verse in the Bible. Reader, do you believe in the triunity of God? If so, then this deletion should offend you. People are playing around with the Bible and it ain't funny.

NIV Reader: Do you have enough confidence in the NIV to... 
tell God, OUT LOUD, that these verses do not belong in the Bible?
If not, you need to get a King James so you can have some confidence.

I read your link. When my kids went to christian school. They had to do memory verses. They wanted to memorize the NIV version. But I was adamate that they memorize the harder King Jamees version.

It always bothered me that they used the NIV.

In the NIV you can find out that Jesus is a sinner.

Let me explain.

I'm not sure what verse but anyone can find it and I will if asked. Anyhow the NIV says that to be angry is a sin. It also says that Jesus was angry. So according to the NIV Jesus is a sinner.

The KJV makes it clear that to be angry without cause is the sin and not just being angry.

That is why I have never liked the NIV since I read these things. I stick with the KJV. I'm sure the Bishops Bible or Geneva Bible would also be correct.

It has to do more with manuscript textual criticism than with the JWs and the NIV. The KJV as did most early English Bibles used Textus Receptus or the Received Text. Where there were questions on passages in the Greek, the scholars referred to the Latin Vulgate as well. Which was very close to the what the Eastern Orthodox used the Alexandrian text. These are all manuscripts.

So when the KJV was meted out they had a limited number of manuscripts compared to 50-200 years later. There was an explosion of various manuscripts shared after the KJV. Schools and universities focused on the Koine Greek, produced scholars on Greek Koine, and as time went on there were more accurate approaches to translations because more data to compare one manuscript to the other was made available. This was called textual criticism. That would be academic criticism, not the atheist type:)

So today the KJV stays faithful to the RT and other English Bibles mostly use what is called the Majority Text (MT). Meaning when translating they want to be faithful in transmitting what the majority of the manuscripts evidence.

So we have both the RT and the MT and a some others as well. When we draw out the Venn diagram we see some very tight circles and what comes out are a handful of passages everyone loves to disagree about.

The fact is most Bibles, like the NASB, and many others either bracket and footnote the passages not either found in the MT or not in abundance. Some just footnote. I have not explored the NIV much to see if they bracket or not. The foot note usually says "does not appear in the MT, or early manuscripts.

The JWs are another deal. They translated their Bible from English to English and used a bastardized way of adjusting the Greek Lexicon to fit their Arian doctrine that Jesus is "a lesser 'god' than the Father." They totally don't get the concept (or ignore) what "Logos" meant to the apostles and the early church fathers.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12)

Here is the way I see it. God said he would trnaslate his word to all tongues. I would take that to mean living tongues or languages spoken.

There must have been the right manuscripts if his word was going to be published. Isn't it his word? If it is it is complete of everything needed.

The NIV took away and makes Jesus a sinner. The NIV was made by some homos wasn't it. I read that somewhere years ago I think I confirmed it.

I opined. There is nothing more powerful than quoting in the KJV English. Love it. Also love the NASB. Don't care much for how the NIV was put together.

Frankly, I use Bibles according to RT, MT and the Eastern Orthodox versions in my studies.

Here is the way I see it. God said he would trnaslate his word to all tongues. I would take that to mean living tongues or languages spoken.

More specifically as we see in Matthew 24:

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.(KJV)

So I believe your understanding is correct. And as evidenced at Pentecost we see in action the Gospel proclaimed in many languages.

We are left so many manuscripts IMO so we could not make stuff up like the Mormons and JWs.

The Comma Johanneum controversy was not so much putting the RT and KJV into question, but a majority of scholars identifying those specific verses appeared to be a Latin addition to the Greek manuscript tradition. Some conservative scholars believe it was a margin comment like we see in our modern Bibles. That is commentary, footnotes, cross references.

And we have to remember the KJV was not the first English language translation.

There is no copyright on the KJV. You can't copyright Gods word. it is for humanity. If you go try to publish a NIV I bet you get sued. If you do that to a KJV you will not. imo. I think that means something. I think it means it is a private Bible.

Stone I don't think their were copyright laws back then. The general consensus was every ploughmen should be able to read the Bible at his home.

By today's laws the KJV and Many other older English Bibles are old enough, that if they were once copyrighted now have by duration of time passed into the public domain. Why it was so easy for revival tents in the 19th and 20th century to buy copies from multiple publishers and hand them out.

If you go to Bible Gateway each version will show the copyright history.

From Wiki (I know but accurate info) on the KJV in the UK:

Copyright status The Authorized Version is in the public domain in most of the world. However, in the United Kingdom, the right to print, publish and distribute it is a Royal prerogative and the Crown licenses publishers to reproduce it under letters patent. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland the letters patent are held by the Queen's Printer, and in Scotland by the Scottish Bible Board. The office of Queen's Printer has been associated with the right to reproduce the Bible for centuries, the earliest known reference coming in 1577. In the 18th century all surviving interests in the monopoly were bought out by John Baskett. The Baskett rights descended through a number of printers and, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Queen's Printer is now Cambridge University Press, who inherited the right when they took over the firm of Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1990.[153]

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version#Copyright_status

So the UK does do this.

On Acts 8:37 I share your concern. For the Catholics have a problem with this verse. The Catholics when thumping a Bible will either say the Vulgate only or in English the DRA Catholic Bible. The DRA is very close to the KJV and Acts 8:37 appears in the DRA. But not the Catholic NABRE, which is supposed to be their official modern Bible. So they have the same conflict on the posted passages and many traditional Catholics are not happy.

:::Beating Head Against Wall:::

Stone, approximately 30+ years ago I was close friends with Dr. D. A. Waite and Dr. D. K. DeVitro, both leaders in the KJV Only Movement. I know these men. If you spend a little time studying textual criticism, you'll see there are valie reasons why those passages are not listed in our modern Bibles.

To say the NIV, NASB, Amplified, HCSB, ESV, and other major translations are inferior to the KJV is nonsense.

"It was once thought that the NT was written in a special “Holy Ghost” language, but study of sources from the era of the NT has demonstrated that the NT was written in the common Greek of the day. The King James Version of the Bible was an outstanding product of the scholarship in its day, but we now have many more manuscripts for both the NT and the OT, and hence our English Bibles are even closer to the original today because of recent manuscript discoveries and the careful work of scholars in text criticism."

BTW, I have almost 100 Bibles in my Logos Library system, and I use all of them including the KJV, but mostly the original Greek and Hebrew texts. I would also ask which version of the King James Bible are you using?

"Other popular books defending the KJV-only models and castigating other translations as demonic are Gail Riplinger’s New Age Bible Versions and Which Bible Is God’s Word? Few scholars, even among evangelicals, take these views seriously; James White has produced an excellent critique in The King James Only Controversy.
Peter Ruckman even goes so far as to affirm that the Greek text must be corrected by the King James Version (CHME, 115–38). Noteworthy is his statement that “mistakes in the A.V. 1611 [King James Version] are advanced revelation.” Thus, he adds, “in exceptional cases, where the majority of Greek manuscripts stand against the A.V. 1611, put them in file 13”2 (ibid., 126, 130). Ruckman appears to believe that the English text of the King James is an inerrant, “re- inspired” version. Armed with this presupposition, adherents of this view speak of other translations of the Bible as “perverted Bibles” and those who use them as “Bible haters.”

I respectfully disagree sir.

The NIV says to be angry is a sin. It says Jesus was angry. That makes Jesus a sinner.

Why does the NIV leave out so many verses? Just like the cult Jehovas Witness fake Bible.

1) I TIMOTHY 3:16: The clearest verse in the Bible proclaiming that Jesus Christ was God. The King James Bible (KJB) reads, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH. . ." The King James says, plainly, "GOD was manifest in the flesh". The NIV reads, "HE appeared in a body". The NIV "twists" "GOD" to "HE". "HE appeared in a body"? So What? Everyone has "appeared in a body"!"He" is a pronoun that refers to a noun or antecedent. There is no antecedent in the context! The statement does NOT make sense! The NIV subtilty (see Genesis 3:1) perverts I Timothy 3:16 into utter nonsense!

Here is 1 Timothy 3:16 in the Greek:

I know a little Greek. :) I Timothy 3:16 is NOT the clearest statement in the Bible that Jesus is God. Look at Colossians 2:9, which reads, "9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, NIV

If all the fullness of Deity lives in Christ, then how much more deity has to live in Christ for Him to be fully God? What is lacking in that passage. Clearly, the passage makes it clear Christ is God, and with far more strength than I Tim. 3:16.

Matthew 5:22New International Version (NIV)

22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[a][b] will be subject to judgment.

King James Bible But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:

Mark 3:5New International Version (NIV)

5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.

According to the NIV Jesus is in danger of judgement. According the the flawless KJV Jesus was angry with cause so he isn't in danger.

I take the Bible literally unless it says in the text not to. To me this is an obvious contradiction.

Mark 11:26 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing? KJV: "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

Why is this missing from the NIV?

According to the NIV Jesus is in danger of judgement.

Jesus does all the judging, and is not subject to judgment. Furthermore, the passage does not say being angry is a sin, rather being angry puts one in danger of being judged by Jesus as to if one was guilty or not.

From the UBS Handbook: "Mark 11:26, Text This verse, introduced into manuscripts from the parallel Mt. 6:15, is omitted by all editions of the Greek text, save Textus Receptus and Kilpatrick."
Bratcher, R. G., & Nida, E. A. (1993). A handbook on the Gospel of Mark (p. 358). New York: United Bible Societies.

The NIV does not omit the passage, rather it places the passage in the correct place. Adding to the Word is every bit as bad as taking away from it. Rev. 22

"But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

You think this is added to? You think it shouldn't be there?

You said it was in the Textus receptus and kilpatrick.

I don't know. Because I don't read greek. God did promise that he would translate his word for all tongues though. I trust the early translations. I don't think it took an extra 500 years to get it right.

I trust those translations because they all seem to say the same thing. From what I have compared.

The NIV and other translations sometimes seem to be telling an entirely different story in some aspects.

I don't think I'll go wrong with the KJV. So if it is correct then why bother with the NIV which seems to me to have some contradictions and omissions.

Matthew 17:21 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing? KJV: "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

[NAS] ["1aBut this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."]

See footnote to the International Inductive Study Bible, using the New American Standard Bible text,

21 1Many mss. do not contain this v. aMark 9:29.

Matthew 18:11 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing? KJV: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

See footnote to the International Inductive Study Bible, using the New American Standard Bible text,

[A K A Stone] I don't know. Because I don't read greek.

The original manuscripts of the Old Testament were in Aramaic or [mostly] Hebrew. The Greek versions were translations referred to as the Septuagint.

1) I TIMOTHY 3:16: The clearest verse in the Bible proclaiming that Jesus Christ was God. The King James Bible (KJB) reads, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH. . ." The King James says, plainly, "GOD was manifest in the flesh". The NIV reads, "HE appeared in a body". The NIV "twists" "GOD" to "HE". "HE appeared in a body"? So What? Everyone has "appeared in a body"!"He" is a pronoun that refers to a noun or antecedent. There is no antecedent in the context! The statement does NOT make sense! The NIV subtilty (see Genesis 3:1) perverts I Timothy 3:16 into utter nonsense!

A footnote to the International Inductive Study Bible, using the New American Standard Bible text, attributes God to some later manuscripts.

I TIMOTHY 3:16:

And by common confession great is athe mystery of godliness:
1He who was brevealed in the flesh,
Was 2cvindicated in the Spirit,
dBeheld by angels,
eProclaimed among the nations,
fBelieved on in the world,
gTaken up in glory.

16 1Some later mss. read God

The KJV has more problems than most modern translations, and all are imperfect. That said, the standard for which has the Spirit of Christ are those which confess Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man.

I see it different Gary. I have never seen any flaws or contradictions in the King James Bible. God said he would have his word translated for all tongues. Why would't it be perfect?

Can you point out a couple of these "problems". I'd like to explore it further if you are so inclined. To learn.

Why isn't the word "sodomite" in the NIV?

The answer is because there were homosexuals (what the Bible terms "Sodomites" after the city of Sodom which God destroyed because of it's woeful wickedness) on the NIV translating committee. One such sodomite was Virginia Mollenkott. Another sodomite was the Chairman of the NIV Old Testament Committee! The name of the sodomite? Dr. Marten H. Woudstra (he's dead now). The following quote was ascribed to Dr. Woudstra, Chairman of the NIV Old Testament Committee:

"There is nothing in the Old Testament that corresponds to homosexuality as we understand it today"

Is it any wonder why the word "sodomite" is not in the NIV? It doesn't require too much thinking. Look below and see what they replaced the word "sodomite" with:

THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION

Deuteronomy 23:17- There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

THE NIV

Deuteronomy 23:17- No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.

THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION

1 Kings 14:24- And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

THE NIV

1 Kings 14:24- There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION

1 Kings 15:12- And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

THE NIV

1 Kings 15:12- He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his fathers had made.

THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION

1 Kings 22:46- And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.

THE NIV

1 Kings 22:46- He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.

THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION

2 Kings 23:7- And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.

THE NIV

2 Kings 23:7- He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes, which were in the temple of the LORD and where women did weaving for Asherah.

Why is this important? A couple of reasons. 1.Ever heard of "Sodomy Laws"? It was illegal in the U.S. to be a sodomite (now people call 'em homosexuals); hence SODOMY laws. In a generation or two, people, including Christians who read the NIV, won't know where the word sodomite came from. 2.This change from sodomite to "shrine prostitute" tells us that homosexuality isn't bad, there are just some homosexuals doing bad things. This sentiment has been expressed by a number of pro-sodomite individuals who claim Christ. They are deceiving themselves for the scripture says the effeminate and abusers of themselves with mankind won't inherit the kingdom of heaven.

This NIV revelation makes me want to use the word "sodomite" all the time! I plan to use it in place of the nicer sounding "homosexual". The sodomites were criminals that were destroyed by God for their wicked practices. Men with men working that which is unseemly--receiving in themselves the recompence of their error which was meet. Read more about sodomites Mollenkott and Woudstra here.

Mmmm, interesting stuff here on the sodomites. Yet some professing Christian will write me quoting NIV scholars and complaining that the KJV is full of errors! We know what happens when the blind lead the blind--both shall fall into the ditch!

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

Excellent post and info, CZ...

Yup -- "The Blind leading the blind." Into the ditch togther (or over the cliff like lemmings -- in the name of fake, immoral "tolerance.")

I got to thinking about something Gary posted to me, so I found that info and figured this would be a good place to put it.
