What is everybody's favourite verse?

[gmhill]

1) I think the bible is a very interesting book, and best seller at that too >:-) I was wondering what everyone's favourite verse is and what everyone's favourite person from the bible.
2) The Ten Commandments are also interesting, what is everyone's favourite?

I forgot where this is... good thing I can search the bible hehe...

Corinthians I

13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I also like that story about the three sons trying to fill a room. The winner lit a candle and filled it with light.

[wmchichiri]

I always liked,

"If you had faith as much as a msutard seed you could turn to the mountain and say move, and it will."

I know it's in the New Testament just can't recall where.

I also like

"I can do all things who Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13

"Ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened onto you." Matthew 7:7

"And you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free." John 8:32

[Alexis]

"I am the Way and the Truth and Life." Definitely up there! As is:
"Bell the Lord, o my soul; all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, o my soul, and do not forget all his benefits" [ok so that's two verses].

[JBanks]

the quote is from 2Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

This is what I read following 9/11.

[SirStefan32]

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3-5-6

Psalm 139 is really great too.

[firebreather]

my fave verse?
For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels or demons,
neither things present or the future,
nor any powers, neither height or depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38,39)

awesome, isn't it?

[Athena]

The entire Song of Solomon.

-uplifting.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
~ 1 John 4:7 (KJV)

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

~ Revelation 21:4-5 (KJV)

P.S. Chris,

I give up! Where in the Bible is the story of the three sons trying to fill a room with light, and the winner lighting a candle?! (from your January post)-

[3saintjoan7]

Oops! Forgot:

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom.

~ Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
