excerpt from an online reference: (wikipedia) ".....The importance of the first printed Cyrillic Bible can hardly be overestimated. Prince Ostrogski sent copies to pope gregory xiii and tsar Ivan the Terrible, while the latter presented a copy to an English ambassador. When leaving Ostroh, Fyodorov took 400 books with him. Only 300 copies of the Ostrog Bible are extant today.
The Ostrog Bible was widely known in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus, and also abroad. It is registered in the library of Oxford; its copies were owned by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, many scientists and the public figures of that time. The Ostrog Bible was reprinted in Moscow in 1663.

The significance of the Ostrog Bible was enormous for Orthodox education, which had to resist strong Catholic pressure in Ukraine and Belarus." .....

your information is not entirely correct Many people know who is behind Wikipedia and hidden wiki. but the point is that the ancient texts do not coincide with current text of the Bible if you love the truth help to translate ancient texts into English
God bless you

I sometimes wonder if people in hell debate over the best version of the
Bible as I'd think the question is no longer relevant in their circumstances.

There was a time when I actually believed that Roman Catholics had a better
chance of not going to hell than non Roman Catholics. But a chance is only a
possibility: it's not a guarantee; and in hell, one's religion of choice really
doesn't matter any more. You're in hell; that's all that really matters
because there are no second place winners in hell-- all are lost regardless of
the labels they wore in life.

You asked which version of the bible I read? All of them.

And what I've found out is that, taken together, the truth is expanded from what we might only partially understand. But rarely contradicted.
