I don't care for the additions of the Alexandrian manuscripts. The Vaticanus has entire sections ripped out. I think the missing sections have a suspicious coincidence with scripture that would prove some catholic doctrine wrong.

I prefer word for word translations.

Grossly mistranslated means that even I can show someone their error with my Strong's numbers. My previous statement about the virgin birth and the deity of my Lord applies here too.
