The Comma Johanneum is a comma (a short clause) contained in most translations of the First Epistle of John published from [[1522 AD|1522]] until the latter part of the nineteenth century, owing to the widespread use of the third edition of the [[Textus Receptus]] (TR) as the sole source for translation. In translations containing the clause, such as the [[King James Version]], [[1 John 5:7]]-[[1 John 5:8|8]] reads as follows (with the Comma in bold print):

* 5:8 '''And there are three that bear witness in earth''', the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."

[[John Calvin]] ([[10 July]] [[1509 AD|1509]] – [[27 May]] [[1564 AD|1564]])- "However, the passage flows better when this clause is added, and as I see that '''''IT IS FOUND IN THE BEST AND MOST APPROVED COPIES''''', I am inclined to receive it as the true reading."

[[John Gill]] (23 de novembro de [[11697 AD|1697]] - 14 Outubro [[1771 AD|1771]])- commenting on [[1 John 5:7]] - "As to the old Latin interpreter, it is certain it is to be seen in many [[Latin]] manuscripts of an early date, and stands in the [[Latin Vulgate|Vulgate Latin]] edition of the [[London Polyglot Bible]]: and the Latin translation, which bears the name of [[Jerome|Jerom[e]]] ([[382 AD]]), has it, and who, in an epistle of his to Eustochium, prefixed to his translation of these canonical epistles, complains of the omission of it by unfaithful interpreters."
