Good hook. That fact and the article overall is cited with reliable sources. The article is also neutral in that it explain the religious and possible secular origins of the phrase. The criteria for new article has also been met. I'm gonna say good to go, providing that the QPQ check is correct in saying that you don't need to do a QPQ.--12george1 (talk) 21:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
