Romans 1:16 KJB - “ For I am not ashamed of the gospel OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
ESV (NIV, NASB, NET, Catholic Versions, Jehovah Witness NWT) - “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
The reading of “the gospel OF CHRIST” - το ευαγγελιον του χριστου - is that of the Reformation Bibles in all languages, and the Majority of all manuscripts including the uncial copies of K, L, P, Psi and D correction. It is also found in Lamsa’s 1933 translation of the Syriac Peshitta.
“The gospel OF CHRIST” is the reading found in the Greek texts of Erasmus, Stephanus 1550, Beza 1598, Elzevir 1624 , Scrivener 1894 and the Modern Greek Bible - Διοτι δεν αισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου
And the Modern Hebrew Bible - כי אינני בוש מבשורת המשיח באשר גבורת אלהים היא לתשועת כל המאמין ליהודי בראשונה וכן גם ליוני׃ = “gospel of the Messiah”
The omission of the words “OF CHRIST” is that of the Egyptian manuscripts of Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, A and C.
