John 5:1-18 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.… A person who suspected that a minister of his acquaintance was not truly orthodox went to him and said, "Sir, I am told that you are against the perseverance of the saints." "Not I, indeed," answered he; it is the perseverance of sinners that I oppose." The other replied, "But that is not a satisfactory answer. Do you think that a child of God cannot fall very low, and yet be restored?" The minister answered, "I think it will be very dangerous to make the experiment." (E. Foster.)
