Even the 1995 New Testament is based on the traditional Textus Receptus despite the fact that the United Bible Societies use modern critical Greek texts as the basis for other translations. The principle behind these revisions has been to remain as close to the original Reina–Valera as possible without causing confusion or misunderstanding. Modern editions often omit the Apocrypha. The British and Foreign Bible Society, the American Bible Society and the United Bible Societies published a total of fifteen revisions between 18 of which those of 1909, 19 are the most significant today and remain in print and a further revision appeared in 2011.
