	Daniel Wallace comments that the verse "infected the history of the English Bible in a huge way", referring to a "rabid path". The Comma Johanneum in an Overlooked Manuscript, July 2, 2010		[[Daniel Wallace]] said on the [[John Ankerberg]] Show: "..this is a verse that was added to the bible in [[1522 AD\|1522]].." Yet, [[1514 AD\|1514]] the [[Complutensian Polyglot]], which was printed in Spain and utilized several unknown Greek manuscripts, contains the verse. Wallace surmises Erasmus and how he inserted the verse into the text due to "church pressure." His theory fails when one briefly looks at the Complutensian manuscripts. In [[450 AD]], Jerome cites it in his epistle to Eustochium and wants to know why it was excluded.

			Wallace in an article at [https://bible.org/article/comma-johanneum-and-cyprian bible.org], goes against Scrivener and denies that Cyprian is actually quoting the Comma. To support this, Wallace must assume that for Cyprian, "the three witnesses [in KJV's v. 8] refer to the Trinity." How "the Spirit, and the water, and the blood" can be matched convincingly with Cyprian's "the Father...the Son, and...the Holy Spirit" does not immediately appear; Wallace is reduced to asserting that "Apparently, he was prompted to read such into the text here because of the heresies he was fighting (a common indulgence of the early patristic writers)." However, while Wallace makes allowances for this "common indulgence" of the church fathers, he afterwards asserts that "One would expect [Cyprian] to quote the exact wording of the text, if its meaning were plain"--not allowing the similarly common indulgences of paraphrase and loose citation to Cyprian where they are inconvenient to his argument.

			Wallace avoids the point that Cyprian said, “it is '''<u>written</u>''' of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, ‘And these three are one.’” He also ignores the fact that [[Fulgentius Ruspensis]], who lived in the 6th century and who directly quoted from the Comma word for word, quoted Cyprian’s quotation of it! Also, the United Bible Societies’ Greek New Testament, openly states that Cyprian quoted from the Comma. In the footnotes of 1 John 5:7, the UBS Greek Text lists Cyprian as the first on its list of church fathers who quoted the Comma ("The Greek New Testament", (Stuttgart: Bibelgesellschaft, 2010), p. 819.). The conclusion is that despite Wallace's anti [[Textus Receptus]] bias, Cyprian really did quote from the Comma, as many other scholars, such as Scrivener, can honestly admit.

			Wallace says that Bart D. Ehrman, upon examination, states that Christian views of inerrancy and our theological convictions should be shaken due to the inauthenticity of texts such as the Comma.<small>Daniel B.
