This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[…for when men labor they keep out of mischief.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5815]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man has to work so hard so that something of his personality stays alive.
