Subject: Explanation on 1 John 5:7-8 please? |
Bible Note: 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 |
