[OLD REGGIE]

John 8:24 - I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am.

John 8: (RSV)
18: I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me."

24: I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."

I must assume that you are using the NAB. Most Bible versions include the word "he", and some include even more words.

In the event you are using the NAB please note the reference to "I AM" in John 4:
25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things."
26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who is speaking with you."

Jesus is claiming to be the Messiah!

"Most Bible versions include the word "he", and some include even more words."

They include this word, but it is not in the original text. It was added by the translators. The exact translation would exclude the word he. Now, about John 1. Do you consider it inspired?
