One person believes he may read many versions, while another person reads only one. Let not the one who reads many versions despise the one who reads one, and let not the one who reads one version pass judgment on the one who reads many, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
One person esteems one version as better than another, while another esteems all versions alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes one version, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who reads many versions, reads in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains from many versions, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
By what you read, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. (That's not the purpose of the bible)
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of bible versions but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual up-building.
But whoever has doubts is condemned if he reads, because the reading is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.
