I'd just like to expose some people to the Bible with just one verse. What would be the most important one?

Although I'm not a Christian, I appreciate most of what was said by Christ. I especially like the verse about the camel getting through the eye of the needle easier than the rich man getting into the kingdom of God.
I know I didn't get it exact, but you get the message. The pursuit of money is usually bad.

Mine's two verses, actually, but I think they're important nonetheless.
Matthew 5:44--45: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
It's important because it embodies the kindness and compassion that every Christian must display and feel inside himself or herself, and it also shows the difficulty of the Christian walk. Conquering one's human nature is not easy, and this verse tells anyone being introduced to Christianity that the Christian path is, indeed, narrow and, at times, painful. This verse, in my opinion, both gives the viewer something to strive to be while reminding him that the journey in Christ will be difficult and arduous.

Look at Jesus' answer...Lk 10:25 One day an authority on the law stood up to put Jesus to the test. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?”
Lk 10:26 “What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you understand it?”
Lk 10:27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with all your mind.’ (Deuteronomy 6:5) And, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’” (Leviticus 19:18) 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that, and you will live.” 29 But the man wanted to make himself look good. So he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. Robbers attacked him. They stripped off his clothes and beat him. Then they went away, leaving him almost dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down that same road. When he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 A Levite also came by. When he saw the man, he passed by on the other side too. 33 But a Samaritan came to the place where the man was. When he saw the man, he felt sorry for him. 34 He went to him, poured olive oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey. He took him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins. He gave them to the owner of the inn. ‘Take care of him,’ he said. ‘When I return, I will pay you back for any extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which of the three do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by robbers?” 37 The authority on the law replied, “The one who felt sorry for him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do as he did.”

The Gospel of St. John, Chapter 1 v 1 & 2 (since they go together).
Is there a better description of who and what Jesus is?

How 'bout Ezekiel 13:18, just for fun?
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls!"
God likes neither women nor pillows.

John 13: 44-48 Jesus cried and said," He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in Him who sent me. And he that seeth meseeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world that whosoever believeth in me shall not abide in darkness.And if any man hear my words, and believe no, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
