Harper's Bible Dictionary: "The formal doctrine of the Trinity as it was defined by the great church councils of the fourth and fifth centuries is not to be found in the New Testament.'"

To: Choose Ye This Day; LiteKeeper
1st John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

In Italian: Perciocchè tre son quelli che testimoniano nel cielo: il Padre, e la Parola, e lo Spirito Santo; e questi tre sono una stessa cosa.

In Portuguese: Porque três são os que testificam no céu: o Pai, a Palavra, e o Espírito Santo; e estes três são um.

In Russian (don't know if cyrillic will display on your browser) :Ибо три свидетельствуют на небе: Отец, Слово и Святый Дух; и Сии три суть едино.

In the original Greek (using Latin alphabet): oti treiv eisin oi marturountev en tw ouranw o pathr o logov kai to agion pneuma kai outoi oi treiv en eisin

And following that, we have 1st John 5:8-10, which includes an admonition.

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
