KJV ASVn : The expression “in accordance with God” was probably omitted by copyists who found it difficult to understand.

The words in the list end with the same two to four letters. Therefore one or the other of them were accidently omitted when copyists’ eyes jumped from the end of one word to the end of the next.

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV : The words translated “forever” are literally “to the ages,” while the words translated “forever and ever” are literally “to the ages of the ages.” Since copyists had a tendency to expand doxologies, a majority of the UBS Textual Committee felt that the shorter reading was original in spite of the slender evidence for it, especially in light of 1 Peter 4:11.

KJV* (“church” in italics) ASVn* NASVn TEV*: The addition of the word “church” by a few copyists and translators makes explicit a common interpretation of this verse. The translations marked with a dagger are actually following the reading in the text.
