In Romans 8;1 Why is the second half of the verse missing which reads as follows? Who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit/ in new Bible versions?

Dear Randall,

I checked in my NIV translation and it has this

"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

Hello Randall. More recent Bibles (e.g. NIV, NASB, RSV, etc.) do not show this last part of Romans 8:1 ("who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit"), as they take their translations from other Codices, such as Sinaiticus & Vaticanus. Whereas the KJV is translated from Textus Receptus (Received Text), which may not be as old as the others, but textually more accurate & reliable throughout. However, in Romans 8:4, we read those same words appearing here, & these are found in all the Manuscripts.

ROMANS 8

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Ok, if you were a very bad anti-Christ spirit, would you add and delete things from the most used Bible in the world? Of course. You could be richer selling you're own version or brand.

Let us now memorize these next scriptures: REVELATION 22:18-21, Exodus 32:33, Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32

( good advise Deuteronomy 13:1-5 ), Gal. 1:8-9

I only buy Bibles that are published by THOMAS NELSON of Nashville.
