The greatest verse of the bible...

I'm with Prax and Jfrog. If I had to pick one... or at least three.

1 John 2:15-17

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
KJV

Is this amazing, or what?

The shortest chapter of the KJV Bible - Psalm 117
The Longest chapter of the KJV Bible - Psalm 119

The chapter at the center of the KJV Bible - Psalm 118

There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118
There are 594 chapters following Psalm 118

Add these numbers together and it totals 1188

The center verse of the Bible - Psalm 118:8

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.""

Need I now state what my "favorite" Scriptural passage is, or perhaps you've already guessed!

Tks Sam.... checked it out & although the things stated might be truth (I haven't examined it closely), nevertheless Psalm 118:8 remains my favorite scriptural passage for it gives me sound advise concerning whom I should place all of my trust and confidence in (and it is certainly NOT man).

1 Timothy 1:14-15
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Ephesians 2:12-16
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Ah, but Troublemaker,
1Jo 4:7 ¶ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1Jo 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1Jo 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1Jo 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
1Jo 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
1Jo 4:12 ¶ No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

1Cr 13:1 ¶ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Cr 13:2 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
1Cr 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
...
1Cr 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
