You do realize that it is one of those KJV versus all other translations website. 
The quickest response is here: http://www.gotquestions.org/missing-verses.html
Most older ones have the verses but have footnotes telling us whether it is present in other manuscript etc. etc. I personally like those versions than NIV. But that is just my IMO.
Contrary to what some in the KJV-only camp would have you believe, the NIV translators are not trying to lead you into the lake of fire by deceiving you with false translations. Many of the so-called "missing verses" are referenced in the side-column of your NIV Bible. The only reason they were left out is that the translators of the NIV honestly believed that the evidence was overwhelmingly against those verses being part of the original writing.
(I don't have time to get into the long version of textual criticism
) but at least believe me that divine revelation revealed in the text (even though there is 5%-7% variants) is 100% intact.
Just please don't ever try to use this thing as a Christ versus text/context/His Word excuse .... it will be a joke later
Cheers!
P.S. (Don't get me started on some of the wrong translations introduced by KJV which perpetuate some existing wrong doctrines today)

i limit this discussion only for missing verses, not to broaden it with Christ vs text/context/His Word excuse.
In regard to side-column things, i just realized it's there for NIV paper bible. But my NIV in android / ipad don't have hahaha... i don't want to discourage NIV users, i just simply express i just realized. That's all
