1 | Explanation on 1 John 5:7-8 please? | 1 John | Ray | 29798 | ||
Hi retxar, The KJ and the NKJ versions have 1 John 5:6b reading,"And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth." That reading is verse 7 in the l997 NASB and the disputed portion is the middle of verse 8. The new copyright has that reading for 6b now and the disputed verse is still said to be verse 8. If you look at the King James, the disputed portion is verse 7. And if that verse is not included I do not see that the Spirit has a chance of giving forth His true witness. I believe that the NASB should get those words Father, Word, and Holy Spirit into the main text where they belong. Later, Ray |

Hi Ray, That's an astute observation Ray! I was not aware that the 77 NASB read so much different here, until I checked out what you told me. I think the 95 probably has the correct reading, or I guess I should say has the proper text in the proper verse. God did not inspire John to put in the verse and chapter numbers anyway, so I guess it would be hard to prove either right or wrong! I would really like to defend the NKJV here, but I don't I could do it honestly. Even Jay P. Green's LITV (Literal Translation) and MKJV (Modern KJV) have 7b and 8a in italics, and he is a hard nosed RT man. The 95 NASB matches up with the WEB, which is a Majority Text translation. That in itself does not prove anything, but the MT usually agrees with the Received Text that the KJV and NKJV were translated from, but here it agrees with the Critical Text that the NASB was translated from. retxar |

Hi retxar, I am happy that you looked into the 1977 NASB copy for comparisons and that you were not led to look for a l997 copy that I mistakenly mentioned in my previous post.:) I appreciate your knowledge about the different texts. I haven't had any Greek lessons yet. Later, Ray |
