Steven Avery For what it’s worth. I mention that. ever since I began to study Greek over sixty years ago, and first as a Trinitarian for many years and then as a Biblical Unitarian for many years, I could never persuade myself that the the absence. of the Comma does not wreck Greek grammar in both verses 7 and 8. Others have their view; but I have not yet found a Classicist who does not agree that these grammatical problems exist. During my time (1965-1969) at St Andrews University, I often discussed - and formally debated - this and other “Trinitarian / High Christology” texts, with both the academic staff of the Department of Greek and of the Department of Divinity and also with visiting and other academics; and I invariably found that they all had doubts about the difficulties of the readings of the Critical Text and about how those difficulties are suppressed in many modern translations. In the intervening years, I have continued my discussions and debates; and I have found the same results. I might add that among ecclesiastics I have found less competence in Greek than is good for them or us - and so few of them care to engage with me on these or any Biblical topics.
