       One reason for this belief is that supposedly the earliest manuscripts don’t include the city of Ephesus in the beginning of the letter. Of course, care needs to be taken in accepting that, because it has also been purposed that some of the earlier manuscripts that we have were actually Gnostic manuscripts, and may be corrupted to some degree. And it is then argued that this is why the King James Version would be a more accurate translation because it doesn’t rely in anyway on those earlier manuscripts. This has not be personally studied, but it does sound like it could be possible. Seems a reasonable assumption the Gnostics would have corrupted the very Scriptures themselves, and remember, that just because something is the oldest doesn’t necessary mean that it’s the most accurate. And, what if the Spirit of God wanted something added before the “inspiration” of the document was closed? Ever think about that?
