Also, if we are going to point out differences look at I John 5: 7. It is in the Douai-Rheims and also the KJV but not in mny other ancient bibles.

5:7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

Darby’s English Translation
5:7 For they that bear witness are three:

So... who added the extra words?

Does your Greek text have the "apparatus"? In mine (4th Ed. United Bible Societies/Deutsch Bibelgesellschaft) the page where that verse appears is about 3/5 textual notes and 2/5 actual text! And more than half the textual notes are given to vv 7,8.

I'd guess whoever monkeyed with it, did so a while back. I'm sure not going to try to dope out which MS has which version. Life is short.
