Besides that, the KJV says that of those who rose from the dead, some of them were raised to eternal life and some were raised to eternal contempt.

Um... that's what the NASB says.

Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Who awakes in that verse?

This race.

Heb_12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Anyway.... aside from using The Quest Bible and ESV study Bible. I have found the Life Application Study Bibles to be very useful. I bought one in a small town bookstore that is leather bound and is heavy as a city phone book.

Correct, the subject of this verse doesn't go reach back into the previous verse. The subject of that sentence is the "many". The context of the rest of the verse is related to the many that rose. Agree or no?

In the KJV, "many of them that sleep in the dust".

In the NASB, "many of those who sleep in the dust".

Your point?

The point is that many who slept in the dust is the subject of verse 2.

Spit it out, man. What is your point? I can read the text just as well as you can, but I can't read your mind.

We are left with a mountain of physical evidence in the form of manuscripts. Yes, they are copies, but the copies can be compared to determine which is the most likely original wording. That's the science of textual criticism.

And there is no other way to do it.
Bible translators have been removing and adding verses since Bibles were first compiled.
We know the KJV has had verses added and removed just like modern translations.

We shouldn't panic at the thought. It's a wonder it has survived at all let alone with the few differences we find.
Rather we should marvel that this ancient work has survived 2000 years (much longer for the OT books) and had such a
massive impact on humanity. The most important collection of books mankind has ever known.

Some of the subject was raised to eternal life and some of the subject was raised to eternal condemnation. What more can I say, how much more clearer can it be made?

The NASB has NONE of those raised being raised to eternal contempt.
