Some of the information above is not true. See [http://textus-receptus.com/wiki/Comma_Johanneum ''Comma Johanneum'' at the Textus Receptus Wiki]. You say it is not in the Vulgate, when it is in fact in over 90% of Vulgate MSS. You say it was first quoted by Priscillian (4th century), but it was also quoted by Cyprian (3rd century) and possibly Tertullian (200 AD). You say it isn't found in ancient versions, even though it was in the Waldensians' Bible, and likely the Old Latin Vulgate (given that the Vulgate was based upon it).

  : "As of 1997, the following cursive manuscripts are known to include the passage: 34, 88 (margin) 99, 105, 110, 162, 173, 181, 190, 193, 219, 220, 221, 298, 429, 629 (margin) 635, 636, and 918. Thus the list of Greek mss known to contain the "Comma" is not long, but it is longer (and growing) than many of us would have believed. It was part of the text of a 2nd century Old Latin Bible.

I will change the article to reflect both sides of the argument.
