Supports KJV/TR

Matthew 5:44Date: AD 167–1600The complete KJV expansion is not the predominant Old Latin form. Its oldest named complete support is the Latin column of Codex Bezae around AD 400, followed by Codex Claromontanus in the late fifth century; several other Old Latin witnesses preserve only part of the expansion.Matthew 18:11Date: AD 300–1500The surviving Old Latin evidence predominantly supports inclusion of the verse, although e and ff¹ omit it. Codex Vercellensis in the fourth century and the Latin column of Codex Bezae around AD 400 are among the earliest named supporting witnesses.Matthew 19:16–17Date: AD 167–1600Much of the Latin tradition supports the KJV/TR form at the first subunit.Mark 10:24Date: AD 167–1600The surviving Old Latin evidence predominantly preserves the qualifying sense.

Fourth-century Codex Vercellensis is the earliest named witness to both; the Latin column of Codex Bezae around AD 400 supports only the first added sentence.Luke 23:34Date: AD 301–1300The surviving Latin evidence is divided, but an Old Latin inclusion strand preserves ‘Father, forgive them.’John 5:3b-4Date: AD 300–1500The surviving Old Latin evidence predominantly supports the full longer unit about the angel and the moving of the water. Fourth-century Codex Vercellensis is the earliest named supporting witness, followed by several fifth-century codices.; Contain waiting for the moving of the water, shorter formActs 28:29Date: AD 300–1500The Latin evidence is divided. The earliest named Latin support for inclusion is the Book of Armagh, AD 807–808, followed by several twelfth- and thirteenth-century witnesses.Romans 8:1Date: AD 300–1500The full KJV clause has named Latin support beginning with the Book of Armagh, AD 807–808. Ninth-century Codex Sangermanensis probably supports it, and the later Pelagius lemma text also contains it.Romans 14:10Date: AD 167–1600‘Christ’ is not the predominant early Latin reading. Its oldest named Latin support is Codex Carolinus at the beginning of the sixth century, followed by the sixth- or seventh-century Freising fragments.Romans 16:24Date: AD 300–1500The Latin evidence is divided, but the complete benediction has early support in the mid-fifth-century Latin column of Codex Claromontanus. Later named witnesses preserve exact, qualified, or partial forms.1 John 5:7Date: AD 401–1300The Latin tradition is divided. Codex Speculum is the earliest named non-continuous Latin Scripture-quotation witness. The seventh-century Catholic-Epistle leaves of the Fragmenta Frisingensia and the León Palimpsest are the earliest continuous Latin biblical witnesses listed here, followed by broader medieval Vulgate reception.
