I meant TR not majority. I do that a lot. Sorry.

I did not know the critical text read that in Jude 1:5. I use Charles Van der Pool’s apostolic polyglot which is based on the vaticanus, which shows the same reading. Definitely would put a hitch in a Unitarian step.

I didn’t realize it was only after the 14th century. I did know that Tertullian coined the term trinity in it’s modern sense. I had not thought of his arguments with Arian. You are absolutely correct! He most certainly would have used that verse had it existed. Thank you very much.

I would really love to hear your thoughts on all the different manuscript “strains” and how you put weight to them like the Majority Text vs Critical Text. For ex. things like, your opinion on is the Byzantine closer to the originals argument, your thoughts on debated topics like the Pericope Adulterae, or how you go about your method of translation of the LGV. I find it absolutely fascinating and it comes out just a drop at a time in your BBI lessons and I find myself wanting to hear more from you on those topics. Maybe some day.

I also can’t wait to read your translation on Matthew and Mark.

Thank you so much Tim, that clears that up for me.

I just found out the Byzentine Text also does not support the reading. The World English Bible is based on it.

“For there are three who testify: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.”

Sorry I mean to say, I noticed you did not include the reading of 1 John 5:7 in the LGV, …
