Well, it says "Very truly I tell you" in mine. Damn Lutheran-issue golden tomes.

Alas, we're only debating word choices used in the most duplicated and popular book ever written.

NOTHING IN THE BIBLE IS EVER WRONG! (drum crash)

How's this for a language peeve:

Crompsin's kid: "Dad, can I get a dollar or two?"

Crompsin: "Yes, I noticed you still have opposable thumbs."

The whole "can I get a" reminds me of shouting Baptists.
