Do you know all the translations that use the Majority Text and all of the translations that use the Westcott and Hort Greek compilations?
I’m not certain if the TR has it; that was the underlying Greek of the King James.

I know the UBS/GNT editions do not have the Comma in the main text. IIRC, neither does the eclectic text underlying the NIV. I haven’t checked my WH, but I can probably do that later.

The KJV has it. From the KJV:
1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
 
UBS/GNT does not have it.
Westcott-Hort doesn’t have it either.
TR appears to have it; I haven’t seen the text.
Here’s the text, with the Strong’s numbers:

The only modern translation I have seen with it is the New King James Version which uses the Textus Receptus as its textual basis for the New Testament, as the original King James Version did. At most, modern editions mention it in a footnote, if at all.

Many Protestant translations do. I am surprised that the only Catholic Translation I have with it is the Douhay-Rheims. None of the modern ones I have mention it even in a footnote.

You are correct about most of the Protestant translations listing it in the footnotes. I checked the NASB, NIV and HCSB all list it in the footnotes. The ESV does not. The Protestant RSV does not list it in the footnotes, but the Catholic RSV does. The NAB does not list it in the footnotes.

The RSV-CE lists it in the footnotes. I do not have the RSV-2CE, so I do not know if it is in the footnotes or not.
