The King James Version isn't nearly as accurate as other modern translations though. ESV is worlds closer to the original texts (which you can also access if you're interested through the interlinear versions).
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Where was the ESV throughout every generation? Just look for the book our forefathers gave us. God didn't have his word buried in some cave waiting for some over-educated fool to come mess it up. Alexandrian manuscripts are satanic. Return to Antioch, return to the true and pure word of God. KJV ONLY!
Reading the scriptures of the New Testament in their original form Koine Greek provides the best opportunity for interpretation.
Understanding the original words helps prevent improper inferences from the connotations of modern English words. It limits the scope of meaning in many cases. The original syntax also helps you to logically interpret the authors meaning as well, and helps provide the tools to aptly deconstruct misinterpretations based upon improper inferences. In other words, you can look at modern translations of various texts and possibly figure out why they translated it that way or why it’s possibly incorrect or ambiguous but not necessarily incorrect.
