7
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8
And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

NU-Text and M-Text omit the words from in heaven (1 John 5:7) through on earth (1 John 5:8). Only four or five very late manuscripts contain these words in Greek.
