The King James version of the Bible is incomplete. It had things added and subtracted from the original Vulgate (Catholic Latin) Bible by Luther.

The first English King James Bible contained the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books. So, your statement is incomplete. Additionally, the Vulgate was NOT the "original" Bible by Luther or anyone else. Luther translated the Hebrew and Greek texts into German - not Latin. So, strike two!

The first Bible was compiled by St. Jerome. Additionaly, the first Bible printed by the Gutenberg Press was the Catholic Bible.

Wrong again! Strike three. If by "Bible" you mean the books of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms along with the books written by the Apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ all being put together into one book and called "The Holy Bible", then there was the Septuagint - a Greek translation of the Old Testament Scriptures along with fifteen other Greek writings compiled around 200 B.C.

By approximately 500 BC, the 39 Books that make up the Old Testament were completed, and continued to be preserved in Hebrew on scrolls. As we approach the last few centuries before Christ, the Jewish historical books known as the “Apocrypha” were completed, yet they were recorded in Greek rather than Hebrew. By the end of the First Century AD, the New Testament had been completed. It was preserved in Greek on Papyrus, a thin paper-like material made from crushed and flattened stalks of a reed-like plant. The word “Bible” comes from the same Greek root word as “papyrus”. The papyrus sheets were bound, or tied together in a configuration much more similar to modern books than to an elongated scroll.

These groupings of papyrus were called a “codex” (plural: “codices”). The oldest copies of the New Testament known to exist today are: The Codex Alexandrius and the Codex Sinaiticus in the British Museum Library in London, and the Codex Vaticanus in the Vatican. They date back to approximately the 300’s AD. In 315 AD, Athenasius, the Bishop of Alexandria, identified the 27 Books which we recognize today as the canon of New Testament scripture.

But there were still errors — “faith alone” — is one that Luther added to the Bible.
