Best Answer

The Old Testament came from the Hebrew and Aramaic texts called the Massaratic text and the New Testament came from the Greek text called the Received Text or the Majority text. Because this Bible was translated from these texts is why it is the most reliable.

The Geneva Bible existed before the King James as well as a German Bible from Martin Luther and Tyndale's Bible in England.
