I do not understand the question. Paul was not talking about the texts of gospels.

But this is a different topic from the critical editions of the Greek text. English language evolves and some words are not used anymore.
Also, there are not just two options - KJV or NIV - to choose from.
Why do you think that "sexual sins" are more "feel good" and more "tickling the ears" than the old "fornication"? It is like saying that we must say "gluttony" and not "overeating", just because... it sounds more old or something.
The question is related to the enemy constantly trying to corrupt the word of God. I’m asking how do we know which “originals” are corrupt versions and which are not.
This sounds like some conspiracy theory, to me. "The enemy", "corrupt versions"...
The mainstream scholarship simply tries to reconstruct the original text and to study how the text developed in various places and traditions.
The enemy is the devil and the devil has been trying to corrupt the word of God from the beginning.
Sorry, I am not interested in this kind of conspiracy discussion.
Manuscripts and textual families differ because of people.

Not necessarily!
There are some who only subscribe to this clarification to Phillip from Christ:
John 14:9 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
Which is vastly different then another clarification from the Christ:
John 14:6 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

So does that make you a Roman Catholic? Do you think the Latin Vulgate was better?

The manuscripts and writings of the Fathers that quote Scriptures.
If we got rid of all New Testament copies on earth, we could recreate the entire New Testament save 27 verses from the writings of the Ancients.

And we only learn the character of god through the bible. In this age of Laodicea, it takes more work to find the most faithful translatiojn, but that is still better than being fed to the lions or killed by the Romanists for having a bible in your native tongue.
Who did the astronomical work to know that 27 exact verses are missing from all of the patristic literature? And are the quotes precise or of what quality? Who was the last "ancient" and why?
I agree our ideas about God come from the bible so when a bible is saying things that don't line up with what we know to be true about God's character, then we should be concerned.
The Latin Vulgate has fragments translated from the Greek we don't have. The Old Italic is limited by the limitations of Latin.
God can be very petty. He punished Job not because he was guilty, but to make him much more mentally stronger than his friends. His friends argue with Job rather than be productive.

Well I've read many English translations and the all strongly imply we are in the LAST days!
I do not understand what you are saying... that they were not inspired/were mistaken? One or two, OK... but all of them?
