Scrivener's Text is the text of the King James Bible. Did the KJV
translators use Scrivener's text? NO! I never said that. FHA Scrivener took
Beza's 1598 text and compared it to the King James Bible. He then noted
about 190 places where the KJV departed from Beza. He then "reversed
engineered" the text to accurately reflect the KJV. He did not comment on
the authenticity of I John 5:7-8.
