Why isn’t Acts 8:37, “If thou believes with all thine heart, thou mayest,” included in many Catholic Bible translations? My non-Catholic friend says the Church
omitted this verse in an effort to cover up the truth that baptism is not necessary for salvation.
Answer
Acts 8:37 is not included in many Bible translations because it is not found in the oldest and best translations of Acts.
There is no attempt to cover it up, as you can find it (with an explanation) in the footnotes of most Bibles. In fact, the Catholic Douay-Rheims New Testament includes Acts 8:37: “And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son.
CATHOLIC PRIUD.
