The LORD is calling His church to return to the pure word: That is, translations of the Holy Scriptures that contain the words of the faith once delivered unto the saints, that Jude tells us we should earnestly contend for, as it is written in Jude 3.
Psalm 18:30, "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him."
Proverbs 30:5-6, "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."
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."
It's quite interesting the uncorrupted Word of God HAS been purified 7 times, even thrice!

The KJVAV went through 7 stages of printing, mostly to correct typos, or to change the font from Gothic to modern English: example, Iefvs was how Jesus was spelled, "murther" was murder, sinnes was sins, etc.

It's that English Bible that went through 7 stages, based on the Received Text (which the ancients like Tertullian & Clement quoted in 200 & 250 AD), that has been translated into most of the worlds languages. It was the text that saw martyrs like Jon Hus through the fires into glory, and the early reformers right on through to the Great Awakenings of the 1730s & 40s, to the mighty movements of God in the 1800s.
It's no wonder in the 1900s there came a hodge podge mess of splinter denominations and cults (some started in mid 1800s) right along with new translations based on corrupted unused and incomplete manuscripts. As I said in a post yesterday, 1 John 5:7, the best verse in support of the Trinity is missing in many new translations, yet was quoted in the first 3 centuries AD by church fathers!
