The KJV and its variants use the Coptic versions do they? Even Coptics today do not use ancient Coptic versions of the Bible, they use NKJV etc. Coptic being a dead language is one reason, but more so modern versions being much more complete and useful.

Not back to Judaism, no. But are you saying that recovery is not needed? Perhaps you should join the EOC if that is the case, it's the real authentic church since the time of Christ in its perfect unrecoverable state.
