Affected Teaching

There is no reason as to why this verse was omitted. Hort and Westcott had omitted it from their version but they retained the verse in the margin, which is the same as a total omission. As we can plainly see the omission is dated back to the fourth century. Silas chose to stay in Antioch and he became a companion with Paul as they had ventured into Philippi. When the narrative progresses into Chapter 16, we find that it was Paul and Silas who were the two principal prisoners in the Philippian jail when the earthquake happened at midnight while they sang songs of praise. This lead to the conversion of the Philippian Jailer. Obviously this was a Divine appointment for Silas to stay behind in Antioch so he could become Paul’s partner in ministry as they went to Philippi. It is still a mystery as to why this verse was omitted in the corrupt manuscripts but then again, that is why they are called corrupt manuscripts. Once again the King James Bible gives us an ongoing flow of a very important event.
