I'm looking for a quote from the bible for a tattoo (a bible reference) I do have one but unfortunately everything applies except the last bit, 'yet he knew no violence' - a past that is long forgotten, and I've made my peace, but I need something that is very profound as it's going to be permanent!
Thanks

"An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth".
But I rather prefer my own version..."An eye for blindness and a tooth for dentures".

Nehemiah 7:8-72. Not going to quote it here, but feel free to look it up. It is a list of genealogies, nothing more.
I love it because it is the Word of God, despite having exactly the same amount of spiritual and existential meaning as the annual report of the US Government Accounting Office.

How does murder suit your style?
God is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:
GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.

Here is a quote from the Bible. I hope this helps.
Leviticus 19:28 says: "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves; I am the Lord." (All Scripture from the NASB)

For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son Whosesoever believeth on him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I agree with BB... my favorite quote is... Be still and know that I am God.

"Jesus wept" - This is the shortest paragraph in the New Testament.
