== Comma Johanneum ==
I find it interesting that the Comma Johanneum has already disappeared from the King James Version, as transcribed here. I'm not saying it belongs in the Conservative Bible Project, as it has virtually NO textual support. But it is sometimes been seen as a litmus test for fundamentalist KJV-Only people. Of course, no one here is a KJV-Only, or you wouldn't be working on a new translation project such as this one. I would say there could be a footnote on 1 John 5:7, just to avoid complaints about the "missing verse." Is any footnote being provided for the Pericope Adulterae in John 8? If not, then I guess we wouldn't really need a footnote on this one.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 14:33, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

1:2 I think the part about affirming a creed is a bit too interpretive. I really like the renderings in the later verses about being part of a community, rather than the somewhat archaic term "fellowship." But affirming a creed is quite different from being a witness, which is what 1:2 is talking about here.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 14:45, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
