Obviously the KJV was not translated from Scrivener's text. But the KJV that
we use today is the result of a revision by Scrivener. Did Scrivener change
the textual base of the KJV to match his Greek text? Or was his production of
a Greek text an effort to produce the Greek text underlying the translation
after the fact, much like what was done with the NEB?

Surely Scrivener did not consider 1 John 5:7-8 as original? He was too good a
textual critic for that, even if he disagreed with Westcott & Hort.
