2 | where has this verse gone | 1 John 5:7 | kalos | 959 | ||
Why? Because "It is generally agreed that this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted" (note at 1 John 5:7, C.I. Scofield, New Scofield Reference Bible; New York: Oxford University Press, 1967. . . . If one doubts that "it is generally agreed," then he need only pick any number of modern translations of the Bible at random. In the footnotes, marginal notes, or translators' notes, one will find that indeed it is generally agreed that this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted. . . . (For much more detailed information on v. 7, see note at 1 John 5:7-8, John MacArthur, MacArthur Sudy Bible; Nashville: Word, 1997) |

The note that is used from the Scofield reference Bible is not in the early additions of Scofields notes. In other words, it was added after Scofield died. I have two Scofields, one of them from 1909, and the note is not there. These changes did not come about until recently, if you can call 30 or 40 years recently. Just thought I'd add my thoughts here. later...wdc |

The changes in the Scofield Reference Bible may not have come about until recently. But the fact is: this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted. It had no manuscript authority in 100 A.D. It had no manuscript authority when Erasmus translated the NT. It had no manuscript authority at the time of the Reformation. It has none today. In short, this verse never did, does not now, and never will have any manuscript authority, regardless of which edition of the Scofield reports that fact. | ||||||
