Comma Johanneum - Erasmus and The Textus Receptus

Erasmus and The Textus Receptus

The central figure in the sixteenth-century history of the Comma Johanneum is the humanist Erasmus, and his efforts leading to the publication of the Greek New Testament. The Comma was omitted in the first edition in 1516, the Novum Instrumentum omne : diligenter ab Erasmo Roterodamo recognitum & emendatum and the second edition of 1519. The verse is placed in the third edition, published in 1522, and those of 1527 and 1535.
