I was about to mention the amazing variations in translation - respected translations - but have none at my fingertips.

The usual claim is that while some idioms have been "modernized" or "can exhibit more than one shade of meaning," the "essential meaning" of every verse is identical across translations since before KJV.

In my experience this is not always true. I do not have examples at hand, but someone else might look into it.

BTW, I grew up as a "spiritual person."
