1 John 5.7 (the famous Trinitarian reading known as the Johannine Comma is omitted
without any footnote to explain its omission)
This is taken from http://trinitarianbiblesociety.org.au/qr/QR563.pdf. Which I got in response to an earlier post.
I am in a quest to find out more about the ESV. I was always a user of the NASB. I am seeing if it is worth changing over. |
Well, Back to the original post. There are also a lot of altered verses such as John 3:13 and 1 Timothy 3:16. This issue is much bigger than the 1 John 5:7 passage.
As I said before, there are many other places where the manuscripts do contain versus that are missing or altered in the Alexandrian manuscripts. And these passages in the Majority are usually supported by the writings of the Early church. So it seems there is support for the claims that the Majority may be closer to the original even though the extant copies are older than the Alexandrian. Closer to date or origin is not necessarily the most accurate according to some.
