Ha ha. You're really reaching now. Did you happen to notice that only 1 of the various translations used the redundancy of "again"?

One is all you need. If the Bibles say different things they are not pristine. This is not much of a problem in the Church itself, but among Protestant communities where private interpretation of the Bible is enocuraged and even expected, since the Bible is "perspicuous."

If one faulty verison reaches milions of people, the consequences and their scale becomes obvious.

One can only imagine what these Bible’s will look like 20 or 50 years from know.

Solo Scripture is not doing so well because it was never meant to be the sole source of Christianity in the first place.

When some says Bible only ,you will need to say which version.
