The New International Version (NIV) is a translation made by more than one hundred scholars working from the best available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. It was conceived in 1965 when, after several years of study by committees from the Christian Reformed Church and the National Association of Evangelicals, a trans-denominational and international group of scholars met at Palos Heights, Illinois, and agreed on the need for a new translation in contemporary English. Their conclusion was endorsed by a large number of church leaders who met in Chicago in 1966. Responsibility for the version was delegated to a self-governing body of fifteen Biblical scholars, the Committee on Bible Translation, and in 1967, the New York Bible Society (now International Bible Society) generously undertook the financial sponsorship of the project.

In 1979, The International Bible Society (IBS) decided to produce a New Testament in Spanish following the NIV tranlation principles, which they worked on with several people and committees for over ten years. The translation process sought to preserve the original language while taking into account the target language as well. Many original, well-known phrases were kept, but others were introduced to communicate concepts "that are not so clear in other versions." The NVI present on the Bible Gateway matches the International Bible Society's 1999 printing. These Scriptures have been made available on the Internet for your personal use only.
