No, the King James Bible scholars got those verses right. As for using the Bible that the Apostles and Christ used, yes, the Massoretic/TR are the preserved words that was eventually translated into the English of the 1611 AV.

"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" -- Psalm 11:3

An excellent site noting the accurate history of the word of God and the inspired truth of the Majority Text (Textus Receptus) is found here:

KING JAMES VERSION

"...Why did the early churches of the 2nd and 3rd centuries and all the Protestant Reformers of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries choose Textus Receptus in preference to the Minority Text? The answer is because:

Textus Receptus is based on the vast majority (90%) of the 5000+ Greek manuscripts in existence. That is why it is also called the Majority Text.

Textus Receptus is not mutilated with deletions, additions and amendments, as is the Minority Text.

Textus Receptus agrees with the earliest versions of the Bible: Peshitta (AD150) Old Latin Vulgate (AD157), the Italic Bible (AD157) etc. These Bibles were produced some 200 years before the minority Egyptian codices favoured by the Roman Church. Remember this vital point.

Textus Receptus agrees with the vast majority of the 86,000+ citations from scripture by the early church fathers.

Textus Receptus is untainted with Egyptian philosophy and unbelief.

Textus Receptus strongly upholds the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith: the creation account in Genesis, the divinity of Jesus Christ, the virgin birth, his miracles, his bodily resurrection and literal return.

Textus Receptus was - and still is - the enemy of the Roman Church. This is an important fact to bear in mind."

The inaccuracies, obfuscations, and outright blunders of King James, noted here by me and Kosta, are as compared to Textus Receptus.
