<P> Although many lists of missing verses specifically name the NIV as the version that had omitted them, these same verses were missing from the main text (and mostly relegated to footnotes) by the Revised Version of 1881, the American Standard Version of 1901, the Revised Standard Version of 1947, the Today's English Version (the Good News Version) of 1966, and several others . Lists of "missing" verses and phrases go back to the Revised Version and to the Revised Standard Version, without waiting for the appearance of the NIV (1973). Some of these lists of "missing verses" specifically mention "sixteen verses" - although the lists are not all the same . </P> <P> The citations of manuscript authority use the designations popularized in the catalog of Caspar Rene Gregory, and used in such resources (which are also used in this remainder of this article) as Souter, Nestle - Aland, and the UBS Greek New Testament (which gives particular attention to' problem' verses such as these). Some Greek editions published well before the 1881 Revised Version made similar omissions . </P> <P> The removal or relegation of these verses was done in keeping with the principle of critical editing, as articulated (but not originated) by what Rev. Samuel T. Bloomfield wrote in 1832, "Surely, nothing dubious ought to be admitted into' the sure word' of' The Book of Life' ." A movement called King James Version Only (KJVO), which believes that only the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible (1611) in English is the true word of God, has sharply criticized these translations for the omitted verses . </P> <P> KJV: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting . </P>
