TODAY'S DEVOTION ON THE BIBLE
As he had promised, Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament was definitely for the “ploughboy.” For instance, instead of the word “penance” Tyndale used the word “repentance” and instead of the word “charity” Tyndale used the word “love.”
Many biblical words familiar to us today were coined by William Tyndale. Some examples are: “peacemaker,” “passover,” “scapegoat,” and “longsuffering.” This is why Tyndale has been called “the Father of the English Bible.”
