Where did the Spanish Bible come from? Was the Reina-Valera 1960 the first Spanish Bible? Who were Casiodoro de Reina and Cipriano de Valera, and why are their names still associated with the Spanish Bible today?
In this episode, we trace the history of the Spanish Bible from the original 1569 Reina Bible through the 1602 Valera revision, and then follow the major revisions of 1865, 1909, 1960, 1977, and later editions. We also explain the important difference between a translation and a revision, a distinction that is often misunderstood in discussions about the Spanish Bible.

In this episode I share the personal story that started my investigation into the Spanish Bible issue.
When I first arrived on the mission field, I was handed the Reina-Valera 1960 and told it was the Bible every missionary used. As I learned Spanish and compared it with my King James Bible, I began noticing differences that raised serious questions.
Those questions led me on years of study into:

Has God preserved His Word?
Before discussing differences between Spanish Bible versions, we must first answer an even more fundamental question:
What does the Bible say about itself?
In this episode, we examine several key passages that speak directly about the preservation of Scripture, including:
Proverbs 30:5-6
Psalm 12:6-7
Matthew 5:18
Revelation 22:18-19
These passages emphasize that:
Every word of God is pure.
God’s words are not to be added to.
God’s words are not to be taken away.
God has promised to preserve His words.

The groundwork has been laid. Now we finally begin examining actual Bible verses.
In this episode of the Spanish Bible Podcast, we leave the historical background and begin looking directly at the biblical text. Our first example is Matthew 5:22, where the phrase “without a cause” becomes an important textual issue.
We compare:
• King James Bible (KJV)
• English Standard Version (ESV)

In this episode of the Spanish Bible Podcast, we examine two passages where the underlying Greek text makes a significant difference between the King James Bible and modern Critical Text Bibles—and where the Reina-Valera 1960 follows the Critical Text reading.
First, we look at 1 Peter 2:2. The King James Bible reads:
“as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”
