The word gospel comes from the Old English god meaning "good" and spel meaning "news, a story." In Christianity, the term "good news" refers to the story of Jesus Christ's birth, death, and resurrection.
In Acts 16 Paul preaches in Philippi, and verses 14 and 15 describe what happened to a woman named Lydia: "The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul, and she was baptized and also her household."
The same chapter records how Paul was soon thrown into prison in Philippi and how there was an earthquake that opened the doors and gave Paul and Silas an occasion to lead the jailer to Christ right there in the middle of the night. Listen to the way it happened
(verses 30–33): "'Men, what must I do to be saved?' (the jailer said). And they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.' And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. And the jailer took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds and was baptized at once with all his family."

The NT was written in Greek and currently there are approx 5500 handwritten copies......made from copies. The scribes that made these handwritten copies were not perfect and there are innocent SMALL mistakes BUT some copies reflect the scribes ideas and not God'word. Those scribes that intentional made these mistakes.....are in hell.
Some say the mark of the beast is 666 and a few say 616 within the Greek scriptures.
I say don't become side tracked because these errors do not fall on us but on those who made these errors for it is written: It is better to never have been born than to add or delete a single word from scripture.

The mistranslations in the KJV of the bible were neither small, nor innocent, and scribes had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Paul was originally named Saul and was a Christian hating psychopath who while traveling one day had some kind of stroke or seizure then "switched" teams but remained an asshole and while he basically spread Christianity to the masses, he forever altered and corrupted it from within, turning it into a complete and total dickish version of the one Jesus made, and now we have the crap we have now where people follow the wolf Jesus warned everyone about more often than Jesus, trusting the psychopath with the mini stroke and trusting his words often over the words of the supposed living Jesus himself.
"Hey guys, this asshole who's been murdering us had a vision and now Jesus is talking to him in his head, let's follow him and incorporate his teachings, he's trustworthy. I'm sure his vision of Jesus is authentic, ignore the contradictions and total tonal change, he's totally our ally."
