Your Bible's Footnotes Build Trust

When your Bible says, “Some manuscripts add…” or “The earliest manuscripts do not include…,” it is not admitting that everything is uncertain.
It is showing you the evidence.
Mark 16:9–20, John 7:53–8:11 and the later Trinitarian wording in 1 John 5:7–8 have complicated manuscript histories. Responsible translations mark them instead of quietly hiding the problem.
Transparency should strengthen trust. The reader is being allowed to see where the evidence requires special care.
Open your Bible and find one manuscript footnote. What does it say?
