As for variants, there are many important ones,

Smith was suppose to have "fixed" this with his version of the KJV. How much did this clarify the KJV? Actually this 'supernatural' repair of the KJV did nothing to repair it - but it did display the totally bogus translation power of smith.

And none of the so called variants were ‘fixed’ by smith either.

Actually, efforts to correct the NT text were well underway before the 1800s. Today, NT textual criticism has come a long from those earliest efforts. Joseph Smith penned, “We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly”, and today the rest of the Christian world agrees. Except for those who cling to the obviously false belief in inerrancy.
