The Comma Johanneum (or Johannine Comma or Heavenly Witnesses) is a comma (a short clause) in the First Epistle of John, . The scholarly consensus is that that passage is a Latin corruption that entered the Greek manuscript tradition in subsequent copies. The passage in question, 1 John 5:7-8 (KJV), with the Comma in bold print, reads: :7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, :: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: :: and these three are one. :8. And there are three that bear witness in earth, :: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: :: and these three agree in one.〔 In Latin the Comma reads: :quoniam tres sunt qui testimonium dant in caelo pater verbum et spiritus sanctus et hi tres unum sunt et tres sunt qui testimonium dant in terra spiritus et aqua et sanguis et tres unum sunt And in Greek: : οτι τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες εν τω ουρανω ο πατηρ ο λογος και το αγιον πνευμα και ουτοι οι τρεις εν εισιν και τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες εν τη γη το πνευμα και το υδωρ και το αιμα και οι τρεις εις το εν εισιν 〕 The Comma and the question of its authenticity have particular bearing on the development of the doctrine of the Trinity, which is central to most mainstream Christian denominations. ==Bibles that include or omit Comma== In 1516, Desiderius Erasmus published the first modern Greek critical text, Novum Instrumentum omne. He subsequently produced four more editions. The first two lacked the Comma, which was first included in the 1522 edition of his Greek New Testament. It subsequently appeared in every later edition of the Greek New Testament that came to be called Textus Receptus. Thus the Comma is found in the most widely used translations of the New Testament before 1881, when the English Revised Version was published without the Comma; but, from the early 18th century onwards, several individual translators omitted it. Versions from this period which contain it include the Geneva Bible, the King James Version (KJV),〔The '' Cambridge Paragraph Bible of the authorized English version'', published in 1873, and edited by noted textual scholar F.H.A. Scrivener, one of the translators of the English Revised Version, set the (Comma ) in italics to reflect its disputed authenticity. Few later Authorized Version editions retained this formatting. The (AV-1611 page ) and almost all AV editions use a normal font. 〕 Young's and both the Rheims New Testament and the Ronald Knox translations which are Roman Catholic. Newer critical editions of the Greek text omitted the Comma as not part of the original, and modern Bible translations based on them such as the New International Version (NIV), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the English Standard Version (ESV), the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) tend to either omit the Comma entirely, or place it in a footnote.〔(NIV ),(NASB ),(ESV ),(NRSV ) translations〕 In the Roman Catholic tradition, the Latin ''Nova Vulgata'' (New Vulgate), published in 1979 following the Second Vatican Council, based on the Critical Text and approved for liturgical use, does not include the Comma.〔(Vulgata, Epistula I Ioannis'' ). The Nova Vulgata has not been translated into English.〕 Nor does the English-language ''New American Bible.'' The Comma is retained in recent translations based on the Textus Receptus such as the New King James.〔For fuller details of this group see King James Versions and derivatives〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Comma Johanneum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
