KJV isn't perfect but it's the best we have.
Here's a list of verses that have been drastically altered in modern versions:

As far as being based, KJV is the only version as far as I know that says effeminate men go to hell:
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV
Compare with the NIV:
"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NIV
Try the Berean Study Bible or NWT and you will never go back... The KJV is rife with translation errors, due to being translations translated from older translations... They even removed the name of God and replaced with "lord" []... Like for instance the addition of a Latin word "lucifer" and an entire false doctrine based on that error....
BSB fails the Colossians 1:14 test and NWT is used by Jehovah's Witnesses. Gonna have to pass on both.
If who printed the bible translation is a stumbling block for you, that is unfortunate... It does not matter who uses it IMO, the fact both are translated from the copies of the originals into the language being written is very important for my choice of bible. Not from hebrew/greek to latin to english things get lost in translation...
What is this Colossians 1:14 test your talking about because verse 15 to 23 will clear up a common doctrinal lie, so is it possible the test could be flawed especially if from those who push the common lie...
