People have translated from what they think reflects the originals. I'm sure some have had a personal agenda and a private bias as they have translated so that may have colored their translation. I compare versions to try and determine how the originals may have read.

The manuscript evidence for the Scriptures is overwhelming. It is THE best attested ancient document. I believe that we can get back to the originals and in the small number of areas of disagreement no essential doctrine is done away with.
