Frequently Asked Questions

The NASB omitted the whole verse from its text from 1960 to 1972, but in 1977 and again in 1995 they placed it back in the text but [in brackets], meaning that they doubt the verse is inspired Scripture.

The NIV completely omits the verse, yet the NIV Portuguese contains it.
