The Holy Bible has not been revised or edited for a thousand years at least. The message is the same after all this time. The wording reflects the desire to make it easier to read. In other words reader friendly. But the message is God's inspired word and God doesn't change so therefore the Bible hasn't changed. God's Holy Spirit worked through Spiritual men to write the Bible. The Bible was then translated into the different languages very tediously. Therefore, you can say the Bible was written by man but the words were inspired by God. The books in the Bible are the books that are supposed to be there. The so called missing books of the Bible were never meant to be there.

There was an original greek bible passage translated a few years back. When it was compared to the current bible there were over 170 mistakes made in the bible translation that is currently being used as compared to this early copy. If you did the math and this was representitave of the errors in the rest of the bible, they are in the tens of thousands. Read lost christianities by bart Eherman it dois a good job of explaining this.

Well, the KJV was translated only once from Original Documents, so that would make it a first, possibly second edition, depending on your laungage version. It has NOT been revised or edited from the ORIGINAL Documents.

Most present day bibles are translated from the earliest known Greek (for the New Testament) and Hebrew (for the Old Testament) manuscripts. Therefore, I would say, First Edition (English), new translation.
May God bless and keep you.

Nice try but it has been edited and changed every time someone pays for a new copy.
