Summary for Forums
There are a wide array of evidences that point to the early Greek manuscripts having both the heavenly and earthly witnesses.
The first is the Vulgate Prologue of Jerome, that discusses the tendency for the verse to be dropped. Jerome was working with Greek and Latin early manuscripts.
There are direct early church writer evidences in Greek.
Two were even acknowledged by Scrivener, a fierce opponent of authenticity.
Disputation of Athanasius against Arius at the Council of Nicaea
Greek Synopsis of Holy Scripture

Scrivener
Internal evidences are abundant, and start with the solecism in the short Greek text. Which is fixed by the translation back from Latin! That this happenstance would be from an interpolation strains credulity.
The Old Latin manuscripts are a second-century line, and the source of the line would be translations from Greek to Latin.
Similarly, the Latin of Cyprian would have likely come over from Greek, as pointed out by Walter Thiele
