THEOLOGY AND CHURCH RELATIONS

319

Resolved, That the LCMS exhort Concordia Publishing House to
note in this section of their published Bibles: “Though a few ancient
texts omit these verses, they are well attested in the vast majority of
ancient New Testament texts and to the present day”; and be it
finally
Resolved, That the LCMS commend our seminaries to
thoroughly train future pastors in the arguments employed to
support inclusion or exclusion of Mark 16:12–20 in the sacred text
and to further remind them both of Christ’s promise that Scripture
would not be broken (John 10:35) and that His Word would never
pass away (Matt. 5:35) as well as the Scriptural admonitions and
curses against adding or subtracting from God’s Word (see Deut.
12:32; Rev. 22:18–19).
