The word trinity is never explicitly mentioned in the bible. Although it is worth noting that christ said in a few verses that he was God (all of which were from John), there was no verse connecting the hold spirit with the father and the son as one entity. That is unless you count 1 John 5:7-8:
The problem with these 2 verses is that they were added in the 4th century AD despite Paul explicitly stating that changing the word of God was blasphemy against God. Also, everything hinting at the trinity is found in the new testament. No orthodox Jew believes in a father, son, and holy ghost.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
