Let me first say, I'm not promoting anything here. I'm only trying to show what the verse literally states. My Bible doesn't have this verse. I read from the NASB.
Who are the three in heaven in this verse?
For there are THREE bearing record, as in witnesses...the Father, the Word (Son) and the Holy Spirit, and these THREE are
one.
hen (neut.); a prim. num.; one: - agreement (1), alike *(1), alone (3), common (1),
This is the same use of the word hen as we see in
John 10:30. Are you sure you don't have a problem with this verse?
RWP: The spurious addition is: en tōi ouranōi ho patēr, ho logos kai to hagion pneuma kai houtoi hoi treis hen eisin kai treis eisin hoi marturountes en tēi gēi (in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
This clearly teaches the Trinity, BUT, I don't use it because it is in dispute.
RWP: Some Latin scribe caught up Cyprian’s exegesis and wrote it on the margin of his text, and so it got into the Vulgate and finally into the Textus Receptus by the stupidity of Erasmus.
