Acts 2:30 KJB - “Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, HE WOULD RAISE UP CHRIST to sit on his throne”

NIV (ESV, NASB, NET, Holman, Catholic versions, Jehovah Witness NWT) - “But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.”
The Vatican supervised, constantly changing Nestle-Aland/Westcott-Hort/UBS Critical Greek text omits the words “το κατα σαρκα αναστησειν τον χριστον” - “ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, HE WOULD RAISE UP CHRIST”
These words are found in the Majority of all remaining Greek manuscripts including D*, P, Psi, the Syriac Harclean, the Old Latin d and are quoted by such early church writers as Origen, Chrysostom and Theodoret.
These words are omitted by Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, A and C.
Other manuscripts contain the words “according to the flesh” but omit the part about “he would raise up Christ”, and so reads the Syriac Peshitta.
While others like E and the Georgian translation contain the words “to raise up Christ” but omit the part about “according to the flesh”.
The full reading found in the King James Bible is also that of the Greek texts of Erasmus, Stephanus 1550, Beza 1598, Elzevir 1624, Scrivener 1896 and the Modern Greek Bible.
