"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ."
- 2 Corinthians 2:17
The "many which corrupt the word of God" would be all those throughout history who have tried through various devices to promote corrupted forms of the Bible that are against the Received text. The word used by Paul here is defined in the Lexicon of W. Greenfield as, "καπηλεύω. (either an innkeeper or a retailer, huckster; and as these persons, in ancient as well as modern times, seem to have had the reputation of increasing their profits by adulteration, hence:) to corrupt, adulterate."
As we see, Paul compared those who corrupt God's word to a type of businessman who would shortchange customers by corrupting or adulterating their food and drinks. He says they "corrupt" the word of God, meaning by (knowingly) adding anything that is uninspired and by attempting to remove what is inspired.
Despite this activity, which was already going on in Paul's time, God's people have always had the original form of the inspired Bible. And it is still available for us today. This is true even though satanic forces have attempted to block it. Historically, we are also objectively successful and prosperous whenever everyone studies and knows an accurate translation like the KJV which is based on the uncorrupted form of God's word. Things start to go bad whenever the accurate word of God is taken away from them. This is part of why satanic forces have such a strong motivation to curse and oppose an accurate translation for some strange reason. And why they want so bad to promote inaccurate versions, despite many of them openly not even being believers. The accuracy of the truth we have hurts them.
