Link: The Comma Johanneum

Byhenry March 10, 2020

Bill Mounce discusses the evidence that the added trinitarian formula in 1 John 5:7-8 is not original. This is a summary of well-known evidence, not breaking new ground, but is one of the clearest presentations I’ve seen.

Waiting for my Link
Byhenry March 7, 2007
Update (3/7/07 6:40 PM CST): I stand here with egg on my face. The trackback appeared on the ESV blog. I apologize for my insinuation that they would not do so. I was wrong. The folks over at the ESV Blog say that “[a]s always, we appreciate everyone who blogs about the ESV.” They were…

This goes beyond different ways of expressing the thought in English, to places…

Translating Metaphors and the NLT of Isaiah 43:2
Byhenry September 20, 2016August 2, 2025
I am very slow to criticize translations in broad terms. Every time I point out what I consider to be a problematic rendering in some Bible translation, someone will ask me if they should discard that version in exchange for a more accurate one. Any translation will contain renderings that can be questioned. In many…
