I am posting this information (first written by Brother Larry) again. Its about 1 Peter 4:14-15.
(Norton's translation of the Peshitta of 1st Peter 4:14) And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Anointed, blessed are ye; because the glorious Spirit of God rests on you.
(Norton's translation of the Greek text of 1st Peter 4:14) If ye are reproached on account of the name of the Anointed, blessed (are ye); because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. By them he is blasphemed; but by you he is glorified.
(1st Peter 4:15 - Peshitta -- William Norton) Only let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evil deeds.
(1st Peter 4:15 - Greek texts -- William Norton) For let not anyone of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or an overseer of another's (charge).
Norton wrote a footnote on these two verses.....
Neither the words, "By them he is blasphemed, but by you he is glorified," verse 14 : nor the words, "as an overseer of another's (charge) ;" verse 15 : are in any of my copies of the Peshito-Syriac text ; namely Walton's, 1653-7 ; Gutbir's, 1663 ; the Maronite, 1703 ; Schaaf's, 1717, and his readings of all previous editions ; Lee's, 1816 ; and the Nestorian of Ooroomiah, 1852. Most of the Greek copies have those words, but the testimony of the Peshito-Syriac is entirely against them.
These underlined verses from Greek texts aren't found in Etheridge Translation, Lamsa's Translation, and Murdock's Translation either. This means that these verses were added just like Pericope de Adultera was added to Gospel of Yukhanan Shlikha.
