Codex VATICANUS and the THREE HEAVENLY WITNESSES. The weird TRIPLE dots at 1 John 5:7.

Описание: In today's video we're taking a look at Codex Vaticanus and the Three Heavenly Witness passage. In 1 John 5:7-8, which is a disputed passage, has a set of triple dots called distigmai in the margin. Are these referencing the Comma Joanneum or something else? Is Vaticanus a good witness for this passage?
