Answer 1

Ahhh young minds...
A couple of my favorites are:
Malachi 2:3 (KJV)
Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

Deuteronomy 23:1 (ESV)
No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.

Answer 2

Here is an interesting section for that age group - something that they will not forget:

Mat 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
Mat 27:51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
Mat 27:52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
Mat 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Mat 27:54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

Answer 3

well, ill give you a few that i like and have helped me, but you just cant have Bible verses that help an age group cause the Bible speaks to everyone in different ways. anyway,

Proverbs6:14-19
There are six things that the Lord hates; seven that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

John 6:25-71

This one I love and everytime I get mad or angry I think of this one; John 15:16
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

2 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Hope this helps, if not sorry, these helped me and sorry that they didnt help you. I have more that if these didnt help. I just gave you the ones that i love best. But it helps if you know what like youre gonna talk about. Cause theres things on love, enemies, ect.

Answer 4

Talk about humilty. At this stage in their life, they need to learn what this is.

"Then he said, 'I tell you the truth. you must change and become like little children. Otherwise, ypu will never enter the kingdom of heaven. The greatest person in the kingdom of heaven is the one who makes himself humble like this child. Whoever accepts a child in my name accepts me.'" Matthew 18:3-5

"Whoever makes himself great will be made humble. Whoever makes himself humble will be made great." Matthew 23:12

"Always be humble, gentle, and patient, accepting each other in love." Ephesians 4:2

"But God gives us even more grace, as the Scriptures says, 'God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.'" James 4:6

"In the same way, yonger people should be willing to be under older people. And all of you should be very humble with each other. 'God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.' be humble under God's powerful hand so he will life you up when the right time comes." 1 Peter 5:5-6

I hope these verses will suit your needs. I am not sure of what exactly you need, but this could be a good topic for this age.

Answer 5

Jeremiah 29 v 11

For I know the plans I have for you says God.
Plans for good and not for evil.
Plans to give you a future and a hope.


In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 -6


Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness
and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew chapter 6 verse 33

Do for others what you would like them to do for you.
Matthew chapter 7 verse 12


Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.
Matthew chapter 7 verse 24.

Answer 6

I'm not sure what kind of verses you need, but here are a few of my favorites:

John 10:10 "The theif comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come so that they may have life, a better life than you can imagine."

1 Timothy 4:12 "And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity."

Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding."

Philippians 3:8 "Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ"

Philippians 4;19 "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."

Hope something here helps!!

Answer 7

How about this one:Titus 1:8,9

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

This one is more important for those going to Yahoo Answers, but it could help teens also.

Answer 8

It would be easier to come up with some if I had a context to base it on--what is this group for, what message do you want to give them, etc.

Offhand, I like 1 Timothy 4:12-- "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."

Answer 9

Since you don't say what subject you wish the verses on, I would suggest that you open your Bible and start looking for some verses that you think your friends would like. It's really not fair to ask other people to do your work for you. If you don't do the work, you don't learn anything.

Answer 10

Here are a few that I think are good.

Psalm 100- Easy to understand and it talks about praising God and that He is merciful.

Romans 1:16-17- "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes......."

John 15: 9-17- "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love....."

John 14: 12-14- Talks about answered prayers

Matthew 6: 25-34- Talks about not worrying, that God will provide for you.


good Luck and God Bless

Answer 11

When I was a young teen, I struggled with low self esteem and lots of other frustrations...

If they are dealing with frustration about remaining good when non-christians seem to get ahead ... all or Psalm 73 is wonderful.
(Psalm 73:25-26 What else do I have in heaven but you? Since I have you, what else could I want on earth? My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; he is all I ever need.)

If they struggle with depression:
1st Corinthians 3:16-17 Surely you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you! God will destroy anyone who destroys God's temple. For God's temple is holy, and you yourselves are his temple.

1st Corinthians 6:19-20 Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; He bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God's glory.

I have a link to verses about the Heart - and further down the posts - verses on Joy:

Everyone is giving you wonderful suggestions. You're going to be hard pressed to decide!

In light of what happend at Virginia Tech, you have an awesome responsibility to reach these dear ones for Christ with God's love.

God bless you with His peace.
