It's the preserved for English speakers, I don't speak Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic. And most people who say they do, really mean they have a Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic dictionary to look up the words in. No thanks, I'll trust God's preserved word before I trust anything man wrote.

Romans 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

How do you know it’s preserved, as you say? What is your authority?

KJV onlyism is a shallow, fragile view of the power of the Holy Spirit to teach, though it is understandable for shallow Christians who still think that they have to figure out the bible with no divine guidance.

Living out Christianity helps bible understanding, and then in turn better bible understanding helps Christian living, in a reinforcing process driven by the Holy Spirit.

Consider that Christians did quite well with the Septuagint, which is sometimes loose and liberal with the Old Testament language.

Any conscientiously produced translation is adequate for the purposes of the Holy Spirit to teach.
