The literal translation comes from the Interlinear Scripture Analyzer which can be found at: http://www.scripture4all.org/

I see a significant difference in the translation of the Greek word kataballomenoi. In the KJV, it is translated as laying. In the ISA, it means either casting down or disrupting, rather than something indicating a building up. One word changes it from letting go of the foundation to not disturbing the foundation so it can be built upon.

In reality, however, this only serves to illustrate why we must pray about the meaning of scripture. Also, I noted it says we must repent of dead works, not that baptism is a dead work.
