We can add to this the excluded evidence. For example, [https://sites.google.com/site/kjvtoday/home/the-father-the-word-and-the-holy-ghost-in-1-john-57#TOC-Internal-evidence the fact that the internal consistency of the text requires the Comma]. Furthermore, the comments added to the article saying that the TR is unreliable are not the opinions of everyone. They are the opinions of the majority of scholars, but, in my opinion, are not warranted (see for example Pickering, ''[http://www.prunch.org/documentation/ENGLISH/004-Objective_Authority_Of_The_Biblical_Text/The%20Identity%20of%20the%20New%20Testament%20Text%20IV.pdf The Identity of the New Testament Text]''). I will change the article to reflect both sides of the argument. --[[User:Ambassador2|Ambassador2]] ([[User talk:Ambassador2|talk]]) 13:33, 7 November 2017 (EST)

::I removed the stuff about early Latin from the article. That issue is not relevant to the story. I got the tidbit about Priscillian from ''New Catholic Encyclopedia''. That strikes me as a better source than the Textus Receptus wiki. In any case, this point is not in the text of the current article. The scholarly are religious authorities overwhelmingly support the critical/Alexandrian text. There are certainly people who prefer KJV or NKJV, but that has more to do with qualities of Elizabethan English than with any text issues. NKJV doesn't even admit to following TR. According to the preface, it is a translation of the "majority text." If that were true it wouldn't have a Comma. The Comma is from the Vulgate and not from Greek manuscripts at all.
