I rely only on the KJV, but there are 3 examples where the KJV has not fully translated the meaning from the Greek text. Luke 17:37; 1 Corinthians 14:4; and Revelation 3:5
I point out that no modern Bible has done it better either, so be quiet naysayers.
Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. KJV
The Greek words paralleling that verse is below:
kai apokriqenteV legousin autw pou kurie o de eipen autoiV opou to swma ekei sunacqhsontai oi aetoi
That word "sunacqhsontai" is defined as "from sun - sun 4862 and agw - ago 71; to lead together, i.e. collect or convene; specially, to entertain (hospitably):--+ accompany, assemble (selves, together), bestow, come together, gather (selves together, up, together), lead into, resort, take in."
That word "aetoi" is defined as "from the same as ahr - aer 109; an eagle (from its wind-like flight):--eagle."
Granted, contenders would argue that eagles should be vultures, but it can hardly fit the meaning of the Greek words let alone be keeping with the warning to not be like Lot's wife in not wanting to leave and thus not avoiding escaping destruction. So it is not vultures nor is it removing evil from the earth as that verse proves that the ones taken is being received with hospitality and entertainment; hence the pre great tribulation rapture event.
Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together for celebration.
To think of all the arguments that can be settled if it was fully translated its meaning from the Greek text, there would be no doubt about a Marriage Supper happening before the great tribulation.

1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. KJV
The Greek words paralleling that verse is below;
o lalwn glwssh eauton oikodomei o de profhteuwn ekklhsian oikodomei
The word "eauton" is defined as "from a reflexive pronoun otherwise obsolete and the genitive case (dative case or accusative case) of autoV - autos 846; him- (her-, it-, them-, also (in conjunction with the personal pronoun of the other persons) my-, thy-, our-, your-) self (selves), etc.:--alone, her (own, -self), (he) himself, his (own), itself, one (to) another, our (thine) own(-selves), + that she had, their (own, own selves), (of) them(-selves), they, thyself, you, your (own, own conceits, own selves, -selves)."
1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself in his own conceits; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
That would have ended using tongues for private use, would it not?
Next
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. KJV
The Greek words paralleling that verse are below:
o nikwn outoV peribaleitai en imatioiV leukoiV kai ou mh exaleiyw to onoma autou ek thV biblou thV zwhV kai exomologhsomai to onoma autou enwpion tou patroV mou kai enwpion twn aggelwn autou
The word(s) "ou mh " is defined as "i.e. ou - ou 3756 and mh - me 3361; a double negative strengthening the denial; not at all:--any more, at all, by any (no) means, neither, never, no (at all), in no case (wise), nor ever, not (at all, in any wise). Compare mh ouk - me ouk 3378."
It is a double negative, meaning He would never do that regardless of whatever the believer had done or not do.
Because of the law on the Book of Revelation, I am not rewriting that verse, but pointing out that the full meaning can be seen as not being conveyed in that verse as it is to be written. It certainly would have settled the matter that no one can lose their salvation regardless.
That being said, one can still become a castaway as disqualified from attending the Marriage Supper in His honor but because he cannot lose his salvation, he shall be received later on at the end of the great tribulation to be resurrected as a vessel unto dishonor in His House.
I point out that no modern Bible has done it better either, so be quiet naysayers.
