"A learned minister, attending an aged Christian in humble life, when in his last illness, remarked that the passage in Hebrews 13:5, 'I will never leave thee nor forsake thee,' was much more emphatic in the original language than in our translation, inasmuch as it contained no fewer than five negatives in proof of the validity of the promise; and not merely two as appears in the English version...The man's reply was simple and striking: 'I have no doubt, sir, that you are quite right, but I can assure you that had God only spoken once, I should have believed him just the same.'"
