What is your favorite scripture from the Bible?

Question

Or if you don't believe in the Bible-- what is your fav quote or saying?

NO THUMBS DOWN!!!!
SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT FOR OTHERS THOUGHTS :-)

One of my many favorites is--John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"

Answer 1

"a happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit". proverbs 15:13 i think,

and John 3:16, i know i know that everyone knows that one, but i think it is the most import verse in the bible!!!

Answer 2

I like Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21.
OK, I shorten it up. It really depends on the moment. When some Christians think their Denomination is the only ones going to Heaven I like Luke 49-50 and then ask them; "Who was that guy"?
The Gospel of John was the first book of the Bible I read all the way. Really touched my heart, so, it my favorite book.
But, as many Christians do, we argue over the meaning of different parts of the Bible. I wonder sometimes if I am correct or mistaken as what some things say and mean.
Then one day I read John 39-40. I thought; "There the Bible in a nutshell"! So, it became my favorite 2 verses as I seem to quote them a lot to other Christians.

Opps forgot the Chapter. Ha! John 5:39-40 and Luke 9:49-50

Answer 7

My All time Favorite... are Two Sets of Scriptures...!

(Revelation 12:10-11) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

(Rev 12:11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

AND...........

(John 12:43-to-50) For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

(Joh 12:44) Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

(Joh 12:45) And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

(Joh 12:46) I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

(Joh 12:47) And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

(Joh 12:48) He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

(Joh 12:49) For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

(Joh 12:50) And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Thanks, RR

Answer 8

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. "In the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world." (John 16:32, 33)

"...I will never leave you, nor forsake you; therefore I can boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do to me" (Hebrews 13:5b,6). Trials develop godly character. "...we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character, and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us...

Answer 9

A couple:

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things, God works to the good of those who love Him and are called according to His commandments.

Psalm 37:37
Consider the blameless; observe the upright;
there is a future for the man of peace.

Answer 10

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
