This is a good example of how "modern scholars" are causing error when they claim that the Bible changed over time. They say this only because they are all among those who all happen to use the altered Roman catholic, and/or modern versions among themselves.
If you look at the Authorized version however, and leave all of the corrupted version sout, you don't see these changes. All you see are the original inspired text and a translation of it into accurate English. There are also entire wings of libraries that could be filled with translations into other languages from these same, "received" original-language Bible texts. The confusion only arises as soon as you start listening to modern scholars, post-Tischendorf who say that there have been changes. That's part of their agenda and they don't believe the following Scripture at all, and they can't satisfactorily explain it either:
Psalm 119:160
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
Luke 16:17
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
So yes, talk about your modern post-1860s scholars and their theories, talk about all their modern translations and try to make it out like there have been changes, but the inspired originals have been here all along according to Scripture itself.
Isaiah 59:21
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
Psalm 12:6-7
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
1 Peter 1:23-25
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
