that what we don't find in the Received Text but is in the KJ Bible IS from the Latin???
The "Received Text" gathers from many sources, including Latin. (There is no single "Received Text" in one edition somewhere, unless you {correctly} count the KJB as the final English form of it.) However, I would suggest that every single reading in the KJB NT finds a basis in a Greek MS copy somewhere. Looking at non-Greek witnesses would help decide when to follow which Greek, even a Greek rendering which might have seemingly weak or minority attestation. Thus, we have a Bible which takes into account the scope of Greek and the witness of the Latin, etc.
