As for Mark 1:15 specifically, the Textus Receptus has "pisteuete (believe) en (in) to (the) euaggeliw (gospel)". The KJV translators dropped the "in" here for some reason.
It is simply a matter of British vs. American spelling. The same thing happens with "colour"/"color", "neighbour"/"neighbor", etc.
God bless,
Brian

It wasn't until the acceptance of all the modern perversions that we decided to accept this spelling. Most dictionaries prior to 1973 used to distinguish the two. "savior" one who saves. "Saviour" Lord Jesus Christ. It is no simple matter with me.
