Comments: Instead of the King James Bible’s translation of “and upbraideth not,” in James 1:5, Tyndale’s translation reads: “and casteth no man in the teeth.” In my opinion, Tyndale’s translation is more understandable in this instance. It helps me see more clearly that God is eager to give wisdom to those who ask Him in faith.
James 1:1-6
1:1 James, the servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sendeth greeting to the 12 tribes which are scattered here and there. 1:2 My brethren, count it exceeding joy when ye fall into divers temptations, 1:3 forasmuch as ye know how that the trying of your faith bringeth patience: 1:4 and let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and sound lacking nothing. 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shall be given him. 1:6 But let him ask in faith and waver not. (From the 1534 Tyndale New Testament)
