The Holy Bible is a miracle. We're indebted to martyrs who gave their lives so that we could have the Bible. Some leaders were certain that if people could read and interpret the Bible for themselves, its doctrine would be corrupted. It's a miracle that the Bible's 4,000 years of sacred and secular history were recorded and preserved by the prophets, apostles, and inspired church men. 90% of the King James Bible is as translated by William Tyndale and John Wycliffe. Consequently Wycliffe was denounced as a heretic and treated accordingly. Tyndale suffered in a freezing prison in Brussels. His clothing was worn to rags and he was terribly cold. He wrote to the bishops, asking for his coat and cap. He begged for a candle, saying, "It is indeed wearisome, sitting alone in the dark." They were so enraged at his request that he was taken by the prison and, before a large crowd, burned at the stake.

And he said unto them--

We must ever remember the countless martyrs who knew of its power and who gave their lives that we may be able to find within its words the path to eternal happiness and the peace of our Heavenly Father's kingdom.

We love and revere the Bible. And if you believe the Bible you'll believe the Book of Mormon also. It was a divinely ordained encounter with the fifth verse of the first chapter of the book of James that led Joseph Smith to his vision of the Father and the Son, which in turn gave birth to the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our time.
