Generally speaking, KJV Only proponents claim that the Greek ''Textus Receptus'' used in translating the KJV New Testament is a more reliable text than the texts that are used by modern translations. (The Hebrew ''Masoretic Text'' is generally used in most modern translations, though there are exceptions).

Modern translations are based on ''Codex Vaticanus'' 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. ''Textus Receptus'', meanwhile, was compiled in the 16th Century from Byzantine manuscripts dating back to the 12th Century.
