@ Pebbles Nibbles
I'm not sure you are reading a correct NIV version of the bible because the NIV bible does not omit this portion of scripture as you claim. There is a footnote at the end of that chapter that includes that part you claim has been omit. I would suggest you buy a new copy of the NIV Version of the bible, preferrably at Study NIV bible and read through it. Nothing has been omitted in this version of the scriptures are you are so quick to claim. I have read the NIV Version from cover to cover for the last 3 years and nothing has been omitted. Take my advice and buy a copy and check it out.
