The verse that was added
The Trinity’s proof text, and where it came from.
Jesus said none is good but God. The heavenly three reached the Greek more than a thousand years after John.
The verses on the sheet, as text
1 John 5:7–8 · KJV, as the church reads it
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…
1 John 5:7–8 · ESV
For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
No Greek manuscript has the heavenly three before the 1300s. Erasmus left them out of his Greek New Testament in 1516 and 1519 and put them in by 1522.
Luke 18:19 · KJV
Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
KJV and ESV as labelled. Free to share; please leave the sheet as it is, with its credit.
If the two halves of your Bible don’t agree
You are not the first to notice. The second-century churches that read the Bible as two voices were burned out of history, and their case can be read again. Start with the free gospel they carried, or the book that sets the two gods side by side, verse by verse.
