Bible Note: 1 John 5:7 "It is generally agreed that this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted" (note at 1 John 5:7, C.I. Scofield, New Scofield Reference Bible; New York: Oxford University Press, 1967). If one doubts that "it is generally agreed," then he need only pick any number of modern translations of the Bible at random. In the footnotes, marginal notes, or translators' notes, one will find that indeed it is generally agreed that this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted. (For much more detailed information on v. 7, see note at 1 John 5:7-8, John MacArthur, MacArthur Sudy Bible; Nashville: Word, 1997) Notes from the NET Bible: "("in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. 5:8 And there are three that testify on earth"). This reading, the infamous Comma Johanneum, has been known in the English-speaking world through the King James translation. However, the evidence--both external and internal--is decidedly against its authenticity" (www.bible.org/index.htm). |
