Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The sacrament of confirmation is found in Bible passages such as Acts 8:14–17, 9:17, 19:6, and Hebrews 6:2, which speak of a laying on of hands for the purpose of bestowing the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 6:2 is especially important because it is not a narrative account of how confirmation was given and, thus, cannot be dismissed by those who reject the sacrament as something unique to the apostolic age. In fact, the passage refers to confirmation as one of Christianity’s basic teachings, which is to be expected since confirmation, like baptism, is a sacrament of initiation into the Christian life.
We read: "Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment" (Heb. 6:1–2).

There is no Bible verse for confirmation.

I do not think the confirmation is in the Bible. I was Lutheran, I got confirmed because I never questioned it.
Use 1 Cor 13:- It tells about love.

Confirmation involves receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands by Melchizedek Priesthood holders. All of the scriptures referencing the "gift of the Holy Ghost" may be found in the link below.

One of my favorite is Matthew Chapter 11 vrs 27-29. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one know the Father except the Son, and any one to whom the Son will to reveal Him. Come to Me,all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. For My Yoke is easy and My load is light. Or Matthew Chapter 16 vr 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and what ever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and what ever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Also Proverbs Ch 3 vrs 5-9 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight, Do not be wise in your own eyes, Fear the Lord and turn away from evil It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones, Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first of all of you produce so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Isaiah Ch55 Vrs 6 Seek the Lord while He may be found , Call upon Him while He is near.

The Story of Pentecost in the Acts of the Apostles is a good start.
