John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understooda it.
NIV
Matt 19:4-6
4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'a 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?b 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
NIV
John 14:24
24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
NIV
Unfortunately, the NIV itself is a product of 19th Century liberal theology that switched the underlying texts those still rejected by fundamental Biblicists, particularly the synthetic “critical” eclectic revision of Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. That’s the seventh downfall of modern “Christianity,” IMHO.
