Nailed it. The Dead Sea scrolls corroborate almost 100% similarity between Biblical manuscripts dating 1000 yrs apart from each other.
'Probably the Dead Sea Scrolls have had the greatest Biblical impact. They have provided Old Testament manuscripts approximately 1,000 years older than our previous oldest manuscript. The Dead Sea Scrolls have demonstrated that the Old Testament was accurately transmitted during this interval. In addition, they provide a wealth of information on the times leading up to, and during, the life of Christ.'

Add that to the fact that the Bible possesses well over 25,000 manuscripts in its corner (all other books from early antiquity pale in comparison). The more manuscripts a specific work has, the harder it is to manipulate what the manuscripts say. Furthermore, all those manuscripts aren’t all stored in one location. A group of people can’t simply change the text of some manuscripts without being caught.
Keep this in mind, too: In order to know that an ancient manuscript has been changed or altered, one must first be in possession of the original, unchanged, manuscript(s).
We can be 100% confident that the versions of the Bible we possess today are, indeed, what the original authors wrote down.
