THE TRANSLATORS OF THE BIBLE,

wish Grace, Mercie, and Peace, through IESVS

CHRIST our LORD.

First words "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Bibliographical introduction. Mainly, no doubt, because of the predominance of French as the language of educated people in England from the time of the Norman Conquest until the middle of the fourteenth century, the Bible, as a whole, remained untranslated into English until the last years of the life of Wyclif.

Quotations In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 For God so loved ye world, that he gave his only begotten Sonne: that whosoever beleeveth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Last words The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)
