Subject: Explanation on 1 John 5:7-8 please? |
Bible Note: Hi Ray, That's an astute observation Ray! I was not aware that the 77 NASB read so much different here, until I checked out what you told me. I think the 95 probably has the correct reading, or I guess I should say has the proper text in the proper verse. God did not inspire John to put in the verse and chapter numbers anyway, so I guess it would be hard to prove either right or wrong! I would really like to defend the NKJV here, but I don't I could do it honestly. Even Jay P. Green's LITV (Literal Translation) and MKJV (Modern KJV) have 7b and 8a in italics, and he is a hard nosed RT man. The 95 NASB matches up with the WEB, which is a Majority Text translation. That in itself does not prove anything, but the MT usually agrees with the Received Text that the KJV and NKJV were translated from, but here it agrees with the Critical Text that the NASB was translated from. retxar |
