What about the rest of you?

Ah i keep forgetting what verse it is but this is how it goes.
"God is not distant and angry, but the complete expression of love" or something like that and there are so many more that that, I also like John 3:16-19 and many, many others!!!

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

That's actually my life verse as well.

Phillipians 4:13 is my lifeverse, and I'm pretty sure everyone knows why :)

I've got that verse hanging around my neck every day ^_~

I also like the verse in Matthew that's like "Don't worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will have it's own troubes." Something along those lines.

as my signature already says:
"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."

1 Timothy 4:12

Well, I don't know if I really have a favorite.. at least.. inside the Bible..

If I had to choose one from a universally recognized canonical work, I would say that Isaiah 9:6-7, is my verse, or passage. It's my saving verse. Without it, I might very well not be a Christian.

Beautiful prophesy, which sticks out as sort of an odd case, or a unique example. Most, or all, of scriptural prophesies within the body of the Hebrew Scriptures, or Tenak, are dualistic, in that they have a directly pertinent contextually obvious application, and also act to foreshadow or signify something greater. This, however, strikes me as an anomaly, of sorts.. at least, within the Canon.

Perhaps it's simply my ignorance though. In any case, if I had to choose one, it would certainly be that one.

well, I don't know if I can pick one out, within the Bible... If I had to pick one passage within the universally recognized body of Canon, however, then it would probably be Isaiah 9:6-7!

This is a beautiful prophesy, and is my "saving verse", without which, I may not have become the Christian I am. This passage, however, seems to be a strange sort of anomaly, as far as Prophesies within the body of the Hebrew Scriptures, or Tenak, are concerned. See, Prophesies are generally dualistic in nature, having both an obviously direct, contextually pertinent application, and a foreshadowing or signifying deeper meaning. This prophesy, however, strikes me as oddly out of sync with the other prophesies within even the same book.

One way or another though, it is quite an interesting prophesy, which leaves little to be desired, quite frankly, from any other passages. It may well be the shortest passage to have contained the most amount of essential teaching in the whole Bible.

If I had to choose a passage within the Tenak, and New Testament Canon established as normative today, that one would probably be it.

for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Psalm 91:1-7 gets me through a lot of tough times. It's the first verse I learned because it ment something to me and not just for Sunday school or something. Also see my sig XD

My favorite is from the book of Deuteronomy, and it jumped out at me right away one night. I'm not sure what version of the bible it is but it says "Do not fear or lose heart" I believe the NIV translates it as do not fear or be discouraged, which I don't like that version as much.
