John Darby Bible Version Removed "Damned" and "Damnation"
Cyrus Scofield followed John Darby's lead by replacing the words, "damned" and "damnation" with words that modern bible translators, rather than God, would approve. Scofield's use of copious marginal notes and footnotes altered the meaning of the KJV text just as surely as if he had produced his own bible "version."

John Darby REMOVED
Matthew 23:14 and sought to justify this omission via his footnote: T.R. [Textus Receptus] adds 'Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. For this reason ye shall receive a severer judgment.' [The 1917 Scofield Reference Bible marginal note: "condemnation"] |

Romans 3:8 |
and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some

to himself, not distinguishing the body. [The 1917 Scofield Reference Bible marginal note: "judgment, in the sense of v. 32"] |
| Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. |
1 Timothy 5:12 |
being guilty, because they have cast off
their first faith. [The 1917 Scofield Reference Bible marginal note: "being guilty"] |
| And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. |
2 Peter 2:3 |
And through covetousness, with well-turned words, will they make
merchandise of you: for whom judgment of old is not idle, and their
destruction slumbers not. [The 1917 Scofield Reference Bible marginal note: "i.e. destruction"] [Also note that John Darby replaced "feigned words" (not genuine--negative connotation) with "well-turned" words (aptly and pleasingly expressed--positive connotation) |
NOTE: The word, damnation has a specific meaning: the state of being condemned to eternal punishment in hell. It follows that Darby and Scofield replaced hell with hades.
