There is only one true word of God in the whole world, the King James AV 1611.
It had spelling and punctuation brought up to date in 1769, and that's The Bible we have today.
There are 233 "modern bible" versions on the market. All have about 36,000 different readings where they changed the AV1611.
"older MSS" they tell us are better, but not true, as the new versions came from two of the most corrupt MSS. (found in a trash can at a catholic monastery).
The AV1611 actually had older MSS than those used for new versions.
If the thee's, thou's, are two hard to understand, the terms are used for deity when speaking of God, and there are about 100 archaic words in the AV1611, which are in a dictionary.
It depends on what kind of person you are. Some people prefer different kinds of the Bible. You should read some of each kind of Bible to see which one you like best. I do not recommend the message Bible or the word on the street Bible either. Those aren't accurate at all. Some that I recommend are the ESV (English Standard Version), the NASB (New American Standard Bible), NIV (New International Version), and the NKJV (New King James Version).

OpinionThe different English language versions of the Bible, from the archaic language of the KJV to various modern and contemporary versions, are the product of the evolution of the English rather than the opposite.

No. There were different versions of the composition of the Bible even back in the Babylonian exile. Ben Sirach for example was considered to be part of canon at one point. The Bible has undergone multiple translations and transcriptions to get to where it is today. In fact there are multiple versions of the Bible today as a product of this history.
Yes, the Bible in the same for all Christian religions. Parts of the Bible are just interpreted differently. There may be slightly different specialized versions.
