Have you read them side by side and compared passages to see if they say the same thing or not?
So, if they use a different word order and say the same thing, do you consider that a *different* interpretation?
So, for Ephesians 2:8 here....
Exactly what difference is there in saying *from* or *of* yourselves? How does that change what is said?
Or is saying *gift of God* as opposed to *gift from God* supposed to make any difference in the meaning?
Is that supposed to be an example of *many and varied interpretations*?

I have read different versions of the Bible side by side. In fact, there have been several occasions when I am preparing to do a reading from Scriptures where I have looked at different versions to get a better understanding of what I am going to read.
Ephesians 2:8 is a good example of where there is widespread agreement on what the Greek words mean. There are other verses, though, in which obscure words are being interpreted in a way that gives different understandings to the sense of the verse. 2 Corinthians 6:12 is a good example.
