Tyndale Bible refers to the body of biblical translations by William Tyndale, the first English translation to work directly from Hebrew and Greek texts & the first mass produced English biblical translation.
However, the term Tyndale's Bible is not strictly correct, because Tyndale never published a complete Bible.
Prior to his execution Tyndale had only finished translating the entire New Testament and roughly half of the Old Testament.
*a moment in time
*fashion not yourselves to the world
*seek and ye shall find
*ask and it shall be given you
*judge not that ye be not judged
*let there be light
*the powers that be
*the salt of the earth
*a law unto themselves
*it came to pass
*the signs of the times
