Do not fill this in! ===1 John 5:7β8=== Modern Biblical scholarship largely agrees that 1 John 5:7 seen in Latin and Greek texts after the 4th century and found in later translations such as the King James Translation, cannot be found in the oldest Greek and Latin texts. Verse 7 is known as the [[Johannine Comma]], which most scholars agree to be a later addition by a later copyist or what is termed a [[Bible gloss|textual gloss]]{{sfn|Metzger|Ehrman|1968|p=101}} and not part of the original text.{{efn|name=1john5}} This verse reads: {{blockquote|Because there are three in Heaven that testify β the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit β and these three are one.}} This verse is absent from the Ethiopic, Aramaic, Syriac, Slavic, Armenian, Georgian, and Arabic translations of the Greek New Testament.
