Bible Answer: Hi Leonardo, Jehovah's Witnesses understand that many modern translations of this verse used Greek manuscripts that had been altered to conform or support the doctrine that the son of God, Jesus, is also God himself. Note that the Sinaiticus discovered in 1859, by Tischendorf is the oldest known complete copy of the Christian Greek Scriptures found in a monastery at the base of Mount Sinai. It is known as the Codex Sinaiticus and was probably produced about 50 years before Jerome completed the Latin Vulgatewas among the oldest original-language manuscripts, it not only revealed that the Greek Scriptures had remained essentially unchanged but also helped scholars to uncover errors that had crept into later manuscripts. For example, the reference to Jesus at 1 Timothy 3:16 in Sinaiticus reads: “He was made manifest in the flesh.” In place of “he,” the majority of then-known manuscripts showed an abbreviation for “God,” made by a small alteration of the Greek word for “he.” However, Sinaiticus was made many years before any Greek manuscript reading “God.” Thus, it revealed that there had been a later corruption of the text, evidently introduced to support the Trinity doctrine.
