This word: Thou shalt not be overcome, was said full clearly and full mightily, for assuredness and comfort against all tribulations that may come. He said not: Thou shalt not be tempested, thou shalt not be travailed, thou shalt not be afflicted; but He said: Thou shalt not be overcome.
Juliana of Norwich (1342-1417) English mystic
Revelations of Divine Love, “The Sixteenth Revelation,” ch. 68 (c. 1393)
