More quotes by William Tyndale
For we love not God first, to compel him to love again but he loved us first, and gave his Son for us, that we might see love and love again, saith St John in his first epistle.
William Tyndale
they go and set up free-will with the heathen philosophers and say that a man's free will is the cause why God chooseth and not another, contrary to all scriptures.
William Tyndale
Here is also to be noted, that the cause of the institution was to be a memorial, to testify that Christ's body was given, and his blood shed for us.
William Tyndale
For if God be on our side, what matter maketh it who be against us, be they bishops, cardinals, popes, or whatsoever names they will?
William Tyndale
Christ is with us until the world's end. Let his little flock be bold therefore.
William Tyndale
I call God to record against the day we shall appear before our Lord Jesus, that I never altered one syllable of God's Word against my conscience, nor would do this day, if all that is in earth, whether it be honor, pleasure, or riches, might be given me.
William Tyndale
Christ made the bread the sacrament of his body only: wherefore as the bread is no similitude of his blood, so am I not bound or ought to affirm, that his blood is there present.
William Tyndale
In the old covenants the people were sprinkled with blood of calves without, in their bodies, to bind them to keep the law else we were bound to just damnation, for the breaking of it.
William Tyndale
Christ desires his mysteries to be published abroad as widely as possible. I would that [the Gospels and the epistles of Paul] were translated into all languages, of all Christian people, and that they might be read and known.
William Tyndale
I will cause a boy who drives a plow to know more of the scriptures than the pope.
William Tyndale
God's goodness is the root of all goodness and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.
William Tyndale
We had better be without God's laws than the Pope's.” To which Tyndale passionately responded: “I defy the Pope, and all his laws and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!
William Tyndale
Do you know who taught the eagles to find their prey? Well, that same God teaches His hungry children to find their Father in His Word.
William Tyndale
Be cold, sober, wise, circumspect. Keep yourself low by the ground avoiding high questions. Expound the Law truly and open the veil of Moses to condemn all flesh and prove all men sinners, and set at broach the mercy of our Lord Jesus, and let wounded consciences drink of Him.
William Tyndale
I perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue.
William Tyndale
It is impossible to preach Christ, except thou preach against antichrist.
William Tyndale
There is no work better than another to please God: to pour water, to wash dishes, to be a souter [cobbler], or an apostle, all is one to wash dishes and to preach is all one, as touching tho deed, to please God.
William Tyndale
Many things there be in the scripture, which have a carnal fulfilling, even there where they be spoken or done and yet have another spiritual signification, to be fulfilled long after in Christ and his kingdom, and yet never known till the thing be done.
William Tyndale
To have a faith, therefore, or a trust in anything, where God hath not promised, is plain idolatry, and a worshipping of thine own imagination instead of God.
William Tyndale
The Scriptures sprang out of God.
William Tyndale
