NASB | 1 John 5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement [their testimony is perfectly consistent]. |
Bible Question:
What does is mean in the amplified "on the earth"? Does it mean that we are the witnesses because we are made in three parts? OR is it God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Answer: The amplified amlifies the KJV when it includes 1 John 5:7 So there are three witnesses in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are One; 1 John 5:8 and there are three witnesses on the earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree [are in unison; their testimony coincides]. but notice in the Amplified that from 'in heaven to in earth' inclusive it is all in italics. these words were missing from every MS of this epistle before the invention of printing. It is only included in the margin of the Latin Vulgate. |
