For example , coincidences, miracles, chance encounters, dreams, visions, etc. Many people who were former atheists could testify of how God revealed Himself to them and showed them that He was real. And all without a bible too.
It's not that important to have the correct translation. Due to lack of bibles there is millions of christians who don't have their own bible version in the world today. Yet they are still christians, and many more converts are being made daily. The Gospel message is not that difficult to get wrong , in a nut shell "Jesus died for your sins", there you go. The original apostles were not preaching the Gospel from a book. They preached it from their hearts ,and their witness, and their testimony and experiences of the living Saviour. Both those who had seen Him in the flesh, and those like Paul who had Divine encounters.

The Apostles were empowered by the Holy Spirit who did testify the Truth, they preached as Jesus did and that is the Gospel of the Kingdom, Gospel is not "jesus died for your sins" Jesus came so that we could have life more abundantly, to repair the broken breach between Him and His people Israel who recieved the new name and New Covenant and became Christians. Christ came to establish the Kingdom of God on earth, this is what the Apostles preached.
