Jude 25 Missing Jesus Christ.

Jude 25. KJB "To the only WISE God our Saviour be glory AND majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

Jude 25 in the new translations "to the only God, our Savior, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, BEFORE ALL TIME and now and forever. Amen."

The KJB is the reading of the Majority Text and the TR, but only 4 "Egyptian" texts added a lot of different words to this verse.

The added words in Greek come from ONLY 4 Egyptian manuscripts - Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, A and C. These extra 10 words are not found in the Majority of all Greek texts, nor are they found in the Greek Bible used by the Greek Orthodox churches today.

The 4 manuscripts are in disagreement with each other. Sinaiticus omits the word pantas (ALL) while included in Vaticanus and A. P72, which is allegedly 100 years older than Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, omits "Wise" before "to the only wise God", and it does NOT contain the extra phrase added by Sinaiticus/Vaticanus of "before the ages" - pro pantos tou aiwnos

"THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, BEFORE ALL AGES" comes from the Latin Vulgate and this is the reading of all Roman Catholic versions
