I think you just need to be careful of the newer translations that they are not departing from doctrine, but it is very difficult to know from a choppy translation what has been cut out or omitted or glossed over.
Unless you compare them with something, and most ppl compare other bibles to KJV being one of the earliest and widely available bibles in English.
The other way is just to read the entire Bible version and hope that it makes sense, or ask God about tricky passages. Usually scriptrue will cross reference other scriptures. If thees inconsistencies or things just make you scratch your head and go what?!
Then you may have a dud translation. I found this with NIV. It was purportedly easier to read than KJV but I found it harder. It just didnt make any sense. But reading KJV, everything clicked. It was like the holy spirit had illuminated the Bible for me.
