1. Matthew 17:21
2. Matthew 18:11
3. Matthew 23:14

KJV
A). Empty Verses [[ ]]



B) Misinterpretation
  1. Isaiah 14:12 Lucifer was not found in the book of Enoch & the name of the angels or in any part of any bible books. The definition of Lucifer was presented as Ishtar/Astarte/Venus because it was from Babylonian (Cherubim) & Hellenistic religion, and definitely kill their own people (Isaiah 14:17; Isaiah 14:20).
  2. James 2:9 The meaning of "but if ye have respect of persons" here if we translate to other language is very provocative, that we should put hatred/disrespect to other people and contrary to Romans 2:6-8, Romans 12:10, Romans 14:15-19. But if you need to warn people about their sins, we should do in secretly or inside their own local church (Matthew 18:15-17).

If you have a list of another error of bible verses or any error in another bible version, just put it in.

Notes :
Misinterpretation must be accompanied with a complete description and a valid supporting explanation.

It is far too late to do anything about Bible translations. If you want to save yourself some grief, stick with the King James Bible and just ignore the rest.

KJV is same as ASV, we should list this as reference to our next generation. So, they will not lost in learning bible.
Nope I prefer to use them (other translation) as a discernment among bible. So, I can spot the error which bible translation does not linear to one another.

I've found that every version I've read has its strong and weak points. Mainly strong points. I see bible versions as trees. I familiarize myself with many translations. Metaphorically speaking, I stand back so I can see the forest. Along with the Holy Spirt's illumination and leading, I seek God regarding what I believe He wants to teach me.
I don't work so I have enough time to do this. I originally sought Him like this out of desperation. My health issues have kept me close to desperation much of the time, especially lately.
I can complain to God or I can seek Him regarding what He wants to do in my life. He has a way of growing me so problems don't seem such a big deal. I believe He has told me that He will heal me. So I allow Him to use my suffering for His purposes. Shalom.
