Modern translations are based on ''[[Codex Vaticanius]]'' and ''[[Codex Sinaiticus]]'', both fourth century manuscripts. These two manuscripts are said to be "Alexandrian" because they have same type of text as ''[[Codex Alexandrinus]]'', a fifth century manuscript. (No one knows where they were produced.) In 1881, B.F. Westcott (1825-1903) and F.J.A. Hort produced a "Critical Text" based on these two manuscripts.<ref>Modern Bible translations are based on Greek texts edited by [http://www.nestle-aland.com Nestle Aland] and the [http://www.unitedbiblesocieties.org United Bible Societies].

KJO has been comprehensively rejected by religious leaders, fundamentalist and otherwise. Dr. John Rice, editor of ''[[The Sword of the Lord]]'' and the best known fundamentalist writer of the 1960s and 1970s, wrote:
