***Try these:

Greek New Testament

Hebrew Old Testament

Although you will find this close enough to be of benefit:

Douay-Rheims Bible

Due to language limitations I personally refer to the following and compare translations to:

New King James Version
NIV
NASB
KJV
ESV
RSV
Good News
Geneva
Douay-Rheims***

They say different things on occasional verses. Which is the inerrant one that you use? Inerrant means

1. Incapable of erring; infallible.
2. Containing no errors.

according to the freedictionary.com.

If there are different words, then there are different meanings. If you would, please elaborate.

As we would say, "The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New Testament in Greek (which, at the time of the writing of it, was most generally known to the nations), being immediately inspired by God, and, by His singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical; so as, in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to appeal unto them."

Do you agree or disagree with this statement:

God is the author of Sacred Scripture. "The divinely revealed realities, which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred Scripture, have been written down under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit." ...[the Church] accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and the New Testaments, whole and entire, with all their parts, on the grounds that, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author, and have been handed on as such to the Church herself." God inspired the human authors of the sacred books. "To compose the sacred books, God chose certain men who, all the while he employed them in this task, made full use of their own faculties and powers so that, though he acted in them and by them, it was as true authors that they consigned to writing whatever he wanted written, and no more." The inspired books teach the truth. "Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures ....
