found something very interesting tonight... notice the extreem difference in verse 7. pretty much all of verse 7 was added in alot later than the original manuscripts. 1 John 5:6-8 (New International Version) 6This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are three that testify: 8the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 1 John 5:6-8 (New King James Version) 6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth:[a] the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. what do you think about that? should verse 7 be there or not? just thought that was interesting...

Later texts.

The wonder of different versions of the Bible. oiy.
