"On this day in 1536, William Tyndale was strangled, then burned at the stake (orchestrated by the Roman Catholic Church) for the great crime of translating the Scriptures into the English language. His faithful and brilliant work had a tremendous influence on the English translations that followed his death. Namely the Coverdale, Geneva and King James Bibles. God used him mightily for the purpose that the English-speaking people might read and understand His Word."

No modern Bible translator since 1881 ever paid this kind of price to get the scriptures into the hand of the common man. This man died so I might have it. That's why I cling to the King James Bible and reject every modern translation since 1881.
