Manuscripts were copied all over Egypt, Asia Minor, Rome, and Syria which means no single group could corrupt the entire text. Early dating locks in accuracy and textual scholars agree that 99% of the New testament is reconstructed with absolute accuracy. No major doctrine is in any way challenged by any disputed passage.
While opposition may argue that textual criticism showing minor variations from manuscript to manuscript somehow weakens the New testament, we can see that that is absolutely not true. The many copies of manuscripts of the New testament prove with certainty that God has preserved His word as He promised.
