Canon and Apocrypha
Apocrypha
(greek ἀπόκρῠφος — hidden, secret)
Books that are not included in the biblical canon. It is not necessary to confuse the Apocrypha with the Gospel of Thomas and other forgery. Apocrypha are historical books, but not inspired, therefore do not enter into the canon.

There are many translations, some of them are accepted by the church, unsuccessful translations are not accepted by the church. There are translations that are accepted by one denomination and rejected by another. Today in Russia is the generally accepted confession - synodal translation. Apocrypha is included in some Bibles, for example, in the Russian Orthodox Bible. But they are included, as apocrypha, as additional literature.
