Joseph Smith New Translation of the Bible! ( JST )
Atheists: “The Bible has so many contradictions!”
Muslims: “The Bible’s been corrupted!”
Mormons: “Plain and precious things have been removed!”
Watchtower: “The original wording has been lost!”
Satan: “Has God indeed said . . .?” (Gen 3)
The Lord has this to say below:
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalm 119:105
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16.
WARNING:
You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. Deuteronomy 4:2
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19

More than once, the Book of Mormon text indicated that “many plain and precious parts” of the Bible had been lost. In the summer of 1830, just a few short months after the Book of Mormon was published, Joseph Smith began a new translation of the Bible intended to restore some of those plain and precious parts.
Joseph’s translation was not carried out in the traditional sense. He didn’t consult Greek and Hebrew texts or use lexicons to create a new English version. Rather, he used the King James Version of the Bible as his starting point and made additions and changes as he was directed by the Holy Ghost.
Joseph Smith worked diligently on his translation from the summer of 1830 until July 1833. He considered this project a divine mandate, referring to it as a “branch of my calling.” Yet while portions were printed in Church publications before his death, Joseph Smith’s complete translation of the Bible was not published during his lifetime.
What most Latter-day Saints have been taught in church.
Although many Christian churches claim that the Holy Bible is 100% correct and error-free, it does have some translation errors. Under inspiration from Heavenly Father, Joseph Smith re-translated select passages of the King James Version of The Holy Bible, including an entire chapter of Matthew (Mark, and Luke were also written out in full but not included in the LDS version of the JST). In 1979 the LDS Church published an edition of the King James Version with hundreds of Joseph Smith Translation (JST) footnotes and a seventeen-page appendix containing JST excerpts. The re-translated passages are given at the bottom of pages of the Bible that contain the scriptures that Joseph re-translated. The "Joseph Smith Translation" of these verses is correct and they are what was in the original scriptures as penned by the original prophets thousands of years ago.
8th Article of Faith: We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
