God's word is the only thing we need.

The Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant Bible?

It makes little difference since with the internet one can go online and easily find the Greek and Hebrew interlinear tests with concordances.

Not to mention parallel translations that demonstrate that there is little difference between most translations.

The thing that causes the bigger error to creep in is deliberate misinterpretation of the texts and the putting tradition above Scripture. The minute someone does anything to diminish the authority of Scripture, error comes in like a tidal wave.

That's how the Catholic church went wrong.

God can use any of these Bibles...and does. If there’s a problem it’s with the heart and mind of the reader. If only one verse in any of these bibles was considered truth...God would use it to reach the individual whose heart and mind might be seeking God and His truth.

KJV Preface 1611

From the Translators to the Reader

§ 13 [An answer to the imputations of our adversaries.]

• 1 Now to the latter we answer, that we do not deny, nay, we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet) containeth the Word of God, nay, is the Word of God.

• 2 As the King’s Speech which he uttered in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin, is still the King’s Speech, though it be not interpreted by every translator with the like grace, nor peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere.
