The Catholic version of the Bible constains the Apocrypha--the seven or so books written by minor prophets--which is appended to the Old Testament section. However, biblical scholars apart from the Catholic church, i.e., those of Protestant and other denominations, do not consider the Apocrypha to be critical enough to be considered part of the canon[ical] law or codified laws governing a church. Hence, the Authorized King James Version was so printed WITHOUT including the books of these minor prophets.
Peace be with you.

If you observe physical law of nature, moral laws that structured good social interaction it is based on the principle of give and take not selfishness. It is always works better when the interested of all parties are considered and given equal chance and benefit. It is the very nature of the Creator and in whatever he touched or created. The Creator becomes a monster when his created being deviated from his designed ways to protect peace, justice and harmony. Treat others as you want others to treat you. There is no greater love than a man who gave his life for his fellowman. A Divine being who created mother's love and proved it by coming down to earth to ensure that all his children, man are reclaimed, redeemed so they could again be reunited with him. Giving his life to pay the price and penalty so that justice is fulfilled. I called that Love in action, and What a God he is. He goes all out to ensure our existence and protection. But he is a good housekeeper, He clean up all dirty staff and unclean staff so that the good ones enjoys the peace, harmony and beauty of his Creation and purpose. That is the God of the Bible. Remember evil exist where there is no love, like darkness exist when there is no light. Sin exist when there is no God. For God is love.
