It contains the [[Comma Johanneum]] from the original scribe.<sup>[6]</sup> It is claimed that Minuscule 918 was copied from Erasmus' 1522 Greek New Testament. CSNTM’s short article and several TR-oriented sites list 918 as a 16th-century witness with the comma. (This is a central reason people suspect printed-text influence.) The two are compared below:

:ὅτι τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, <span style="text-decoration: overline">πηρ</span>, λόγος, καὶ πνεῦμα ἅγιον, καὶ οὗτοι οἱ τρεῖς ἕν εἰσι. καὶ τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ, πνεῦμα, καὶ ὕδωρ, καὶ αἷμα, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσιν. (Minuscule 918)

Compared:

:ὅτι τρεῖς ἐισιν ὁι μαρτυροῦντες ἑν τῷ ὁυρανῷ, πατὴρ, λόγος, καὶ πνεῦμα ἅγιου, καὶ οὗτοι ὁι τρεῖς ἕν ἐισι. καὶ τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες ἕν τῇ γῇ, πνεῦμα, καὶ ὕδωρ, καὶ αἷμα, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσιν. (Erasmus 1522)

The only difference is Minuscule 918 has the Nomen Sacrum <span style="text-decoration: overline">πηρ</span>, whereas Erasmus' 1522 does not, but has the expanded πατὴρ.

The commentary on GA 918 has:
:.....ἀλλα ὁ λόγος του θυ σε σαρκωματος, ᾧ καί ἐ μαρτύρησεν ὁ πηρʹ, οὒτος εσιν ὁ υἱος μενὁ ἀγαπητοςʹ. ὁμοίως καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ὅτε ἐνόμισαν βροντὴν εἶναι, ὅτε καὶ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἔσταξεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

Translated as:

:.....but the word of God came to you in the flesh, and the Father testified, "You are the beloved Son." Likewise also on the cross, when they thought it was thunder, when also his blood dripped onto the earth.

The commentary is speaking of the ''λόγος'' of God that came in the flesh. The Textus Receptus is the only text that reads "λόγος" in the entire chapter of 1 John 5, so it is significant to have a commentary written here mentioning the logos.
