Most Spanish speaking Christians rely on one version of the Bible, the Reina-Valera, which was first published in 1569, forty-two years before the King James Version.

In 1960, the British and Foreign Bible Society and the American Bible Society jointly published the popular revision of the Version Reina-Valera. This version has been the basic text of the Spanish Protestant Church for generations. It is the most beloved translation of Spanish speaking Christians because it retains the traditional style of the Spanish language.

The Reina-Valera Revision 1960 is the most recent update of a line dating back to the Reina 1569 translation from the Pagininus Latin and the Valera 1602 translation from the Massoretic Hebrew and Greek Textus Receptus
