Why is Acts 8:37 missing from some versions of the Bible?
It's missing in some of the more traditional versions like the KJV and the NIV, but in other versions, like the ESV and amplified, they are in italics or a footnote. Is it because it conflicts with the holy trinity?
Acts 8:37
AMP - 37 And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart [if you have a conviction, full of joyful trust, that Jesus is the Messiah and accept Him as the Author of your salvation in the kingdom of God, giving Him your obedience, then] you may. And he replied, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

I believe it enforces the teaching of the Trinity

I possess a KJV Bible and it is Acts 8:37, so it is wrong to say that this scripture is not in the KJV
