Bible Question: I have been studying the epistle of 1 John and I am looking for a little help clarifying 1 John 5:7-8. The KJV is somewhat confusing in verse 8 and in the NASB most of both verses are gone compared to the KJV. My question is why the discrepancy? Also, if we look at the KJV of the text, what does it mean by "...three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood;..." Thank you |
Bible Answer: 1 John 5:6-12 The water and the blood are the baptism of Christ and his shedding of his blood at his crucifixion. The Holy Spirit was present at the baptism ( Matt 3:16) and testifies to Jesus as the Son of God. Divine witness is greater than any two human witnesses required by the Law.(Dt 17:6) Emmaus |
