Comma Johanneum the KJV only nightmare

What does 1 John 5:7-8 say?

With the Comma Johanneum included, the passage reads:



“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one,” (1 John 5:7-8, KJV).



The same section in most modern translations reads:



“For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement,” (1 John 5:7-8, NASB).



The difference is not a matter of the KJV translators adding anything to the text from which they translated, nor is it a matter of modern translators leaving out anything in the manuscripts they were using. The difference is found in the underlying Greek texts which were being translated into English.

While I am not King James Only, I am okay with the King James and think it is a good translation.

Catholics used to be Vulgate ONLY and it was death for others. Good they got away from that.

Now days, some translations are very twisted.

I wonder how twisted the Bible will become in the future. The Woke Bible. The Communist accepted Bible.
