BELIEVE VS. OBEY

In John 3:36, Acts 14:2, 17:4, 19:9, 27:11, 28:24, Rom 11:30, 31,32, 15:31, Heb 3:18, 4:6, 4:11, and 11:31 the KJB uses some variant of BELIEVE, while most of the modern versions, in all these verses use a variant of OBEY.

Salvation is by FAITH (belief), not WORKS (obedience). Why would a version put the emphasis on WORKS in over a dozen verses where the KJB puts the emphasis on BELIEF?

This is not to discount the importance of obeying God, but to consistently appeal to obedience when the emphasis should be on belief can mislead a seeking person into thinking salvation is of works rather than faith.

Who would be behind such changes?
