the Codexes are from 2nd and 4th Century, FIRST GREEK BIBLE.
6 This is he that came through water and blood, Jesus Christ: not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For they that testify are three,
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are one.
the CURRENT VERSION of 1 john 5:7 was added [[((AFTER))]] the 12th Century.

The text of 1 John 5:7 is not found in any Greek texts before the 12th century.
^
so 1 John 5:7 is an ADD-ON, which is condemned by God in John's Book of Revelation.
No, there are only two TYPES of Greek manuscript texts. The Traditional text, which is about the Received Text, or Textus Receptus. And then the Critical text, which is about the Greek manuscripts that Wescott and Hort used for their new Greek translation of 1881, and then the Nestle-Aland and United Bible Societies critical text joined with Wescott and Hort's Greek translation.
Thusly:
1. Textus Receptus, or Received Text. (KJV, Douay-Rheims Bible, Noah Webster's Bible (1833), etc.
2. Critical text (Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, NU standing for Nestle-Aland and UBS translations), NIV, ESV, NKJV, ASV, etc., basically the modern versions I quoted in my post above that leave out the text of 1 John 5:7 about the Trinity.
90% of Codex Vaticanus is used for modern New Testament versions after the 1880s. About 8% comes from Codex Sinaiticus, and the rest is from other manuscripts sections the liberal critics add over time.
Codex Vaticanus was discovered in the Vatican in 1475, and has no documented origin prior to that. The higher critics behind the Critical text revisions instead try to say it is one of the most ancient Greek texts, which is a total fabrication.
Likewise, the Codex Sinaiticus only has a history going back to 1840. A Greek named Simonides who was a Greek paleographer expert at analyzing ancient Greek manuscripts, was at the monastery of St. Catherine's in Ethos, Greece. He was asked to make a new translation of the whole Bible, in order to present to the Czar of Russia in hopes the monastery might be given a donation to buy a printing press. Simonides did the work in haste which when done it required many corrections, so the actual manuscripts shows many, many, edits, and write-overs. The project thus failed, so they couldn't present it to the Czar.
Then later around 1844, the German rationalist Tischendorf in search of ancient Greek manuscripts in the middle east, because he believed the real New Testament had been lost, said he found the manuscript in a trash bin at St. Catherine's, in prep to be burned, even though those at the monastery denied that. Tischendorf then took 43 leaves of the manuscript to London, and a few years later went back to get the rest, which the monks refused to give him. He promised if they would loan it to him he would bring it back, but never did bring it back, making Tischendorf a thief.
Wescott and Hort in England then got ahold of a copy of it, and used it in their new Greek translation of 1881. But back around 1850s, Simonides, the original author, saw the existing document that Tischendorf hadn't come for yet, and saw that it had been treated with something, like it looked older that just a few years that is really was.
Tischendorf in 1859 then presented the full Codex to the Czar of Russia who gave Tischendorf rights to publish it. Tischendorf produced a facsimile version which he took to England.
In 1860, Simonides visited England and saw a copy of Tischendorf's facsimile edition, and claimed publically that he was its author, which began a major uprising in the English newspapers, with Tischendorf claiming Simonides was telling lies.
Sorry, but the Codex Vaticanus and Sinaiticus is nothing but a HOAX.
