... pick up the Geneva 1560 and look for the full inspiration of God at John 8:6 Luke 17:36 1 John 2:23b (there are more, but these three are well known. In the Tyndale edition of the scriptures, there are many more difficulties.)
John 8:6
.... as though he heard them not.
Luke 17:36
Two men shall be in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
1 John 2:23
... (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Luke 17:36 [this verse in the KJV is not in the 1560 Geneva Bible and some other pre-1611
English Bibles]
The 1560 Geneva Bible has a verse 36 but it is what is verse 37 in the KJV. [see 1611 marginal
note] (see also Backus, p. 88)
John 8:6 "as though he heard them not" [these words in KJV are not in 1560 Geneva Bible and
some other pre-1611 English Bibles]
1 John 2:23b
[but] he that acknowledged the Son hath the Father also [1611 KJV]
[this second half of this verse in KJV is not in 1560 Geneva Bible and some other pre-1611
English Bibles because not found in early TR editions]
In terms of the text, the two editions, putting aside the 1557 Whittingham, are the 1560 and the 1576 Laurence Tomson (1539-1608) revision. They split the Geneva publishing after 1576.
The 1560 is missing a few verses (perhaps later Beza TR improvements), the 1576 has a stilted “that” grammer, Latin style, with an underlying text exceedingly close to the AV.
