1 | question about the comma johannim | 1 John 5:7 | abearmenta | 175055 | ||
Hi everybody...I am trying to make sense as to why the NASB omits the comma Johannim while the LBLA (La Biblia de Las Americas, sort of like the Spanish NASB) includes it... | ||||||
2 | question about the comma johannim | 1 John 5:7 | DocTrinsograce | 175065 | ||
Dear Abearmenta, Punctuation did not, of course, exist in the original texts. Indeed, there wasn't upper/lower case. For that matter, even spaces are a later invention! Consequently, punctuation is always an interpretational decision made by the translator. For insights into this sort of thing you'd need to track down the "translation notes" for the various versions in question. In a short search I did not find them online. However, if some else knows where they can be found, perhaps they will be kind enough to post a followup to your question. I envy that you are a polyglot. I can barely hang onto the claim of being a monoglot! :-) In Him, Doc |

3 | question about the comma johannim | 1 John 5:7 | mark d seyler | 175098 | ||
Hi Doc, I believe Abearmenta was referring to the passage: 1 John 5:7 (KJV) 'There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one' This is referred to as the "Johannine Comma", and is a disputed text. Love in Christ, Mark |
