The decision to keep an older edition of a Bible available on Bible Gateway is one that is made by its publisher and not by Bible Gateway. In this case, the publisher has established that the updated 2011 NIV text supersedes its predecessor, so this new text is considered the NIV, both on Bible Gateway and in print. Bible Gateway is happy to honor that decision.
Do you have the 1984 NIV translation?
